This document is a statistical compendium designed for use as a desk-top reference. The data book represents an assembly and display of statistics that characterize current and past energy end-use activities in the residential and commercial sectors and presents data on other factors that influence energy use in these sectors. The purpose of the publication is to present a large amount of relevant data in an easily retrievable and usable format with the statistical data presented in the form of tables, graphs, and charts. The topics covered in the nine chapters include: (1) building stock characteristics, including construction trends, inventories, and physical and thermal characteristics; (2) appliance shipments, inventories, prices, and energy utilization efficiencies; (3) fuel production, consumption, and prices for the major energy sources (electricity, natural gas, liquid petroleum, and coal); (4) demographic and climatic variables, including data on energy use vs population by region and indicators of social changes that affect household energy consumption; (5) national economic determinants providing data on employment and unemployment, level of consumer spending, prices, government activity, and the effect of government monetary policy on the Gross National Product; (6) an overview of solar energy technology, governmental interactions, market activity, and future prospects; (7) community systems presenting data on alternative energy sources and technological options for conserving nonrenewable energy use in the major community subsystems - heating, cooling, hot water, electricity, and solid and liquid waste treatment; (8) school and hospital characteristics, inventory, and energy utilization; and (9) a review of selected analyses of energy use in the residential and commercial sectors. Data sources are listed at the end of each chapter.
