Energy consumption data base. Volume II. User's manual. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5351616
This is the second of three volumes which describe and document the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) energy consumption data base (ECDB). The ECDB contains data on eight energy consumption sectors arranged within one computer data file. The eight sectors are: agriculture, mining, construction, manufacturing, transportation, commercial, household and electric utilities. Within each sector the quantity of energy consumed and the amount spent on it is presented by state and Census region, fuel type, class of user, and the use for 1967, 1971, and 1974. The data is cross-stratified so that, for example, it contains the amount of electricity used by the aluminum industry for electrolytic processes in the Pacific region during 1974. Volume II is a user's manual describing ECDB and the means to update and access its computer files. The purpose of the second volume is to enable researchers who want finer detail than is displayed in the summary or documentation volumes to obtain any or all information contained in the ECDB. The computerization techniques for installing the data, and use of the data management system which stores the data are also discussed in this volume.
