Turning to the used energy, most energy sources are spent heating and it is accounted for correctly 42%, the sources for heating water are also 30%. All of energy for electronic devices and tools are absolutely 15%, compare with energy used for the rest for freezing 7%, lighting 4% and cooling only 2%
Regard to the gas released, water heating makes the most CO2 with 32%, while all of kinds of devices and appliances percentage is 28%. The proportion of heat and refrigeration is 15% and 14% respectively, compared to the rest, cooling just emits 3% of gas and 8% for lighting.
