Composition of synthetic electric consumption in the representative target locations. Heating and cooling constitute the majority part of the residential electric consumption. Refrigerators consume slightly higher energy in hotter regions such as Maricopa and Houston. Activities such as dishwashing, laundry, and cooking represents between 8–17% for different regions. Lighting and water heating have a consistent proportion of consumption across all locations. The proportions bear similarities with data published by EIA.
