Domestic energy concsumption is the amount of energy that is spent on the different appliances used within housing. The amount of energy used per household varies widely depending on the standard of living of the country, climate, and the age and type of residence. In an average household in a temperate climate the yearly use of household energy can be composed as follows:
Average domestic energy consumption per household in temperate climates
12000 kw.h (1400 watts) Hot water3000 kW·h/yr (340 watts) Cooling/refrigeration 1200 kW·h/yr (140 watts) Lighting1200 kW·h/yr (140 watts) Washing and drying 1000 kW·h/yr (110 watts) Cooking 1000 kW·h/yr (110 watts) Miscellaneous

These statistics are the averages of new zealand homes, and show that heat energy is a massive energy consumption. What i found interesting was that lighting was actually quite high up there with all the new energy efficient light bulbs. I think this would be a good type of energy to look further into:
This is an image that i found interesting as it is not a graph, but drawings of the type of appliances used within the home and shows what energy they are using.
