Energy Consumption Data Base. Volume III. Introductory Chapter to Sectoral Studies Documentation. Final Report

摘要

A detailed End Use Energy Consumption Data Base (ECDB) was developed for 1967, 1971, and 1974. Consumption is estimated for agriculture, mining, construction, manufacturing, transportation, commercial, household, and electric utilities. For each sector, estimates are by fuel and end use. For agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and commercial there are breakouts by major industries. For transportation, there is a breakout by mode, and for household by type of structure and income class. Estimates are at the national and census division levels, and usually also at the state level. The numbers are not primary data; they are estimates derived from many sources. Vol. III contains complete documentation for ECDB and displays some of its state-by-state data. This introductory chapter of Volume III contains instructions on how to interpret the data base output, two-letter state abbreviations, typical Btu conversion factors which were used whenever more industry or site-specific factors were not available, and a glossary of terms used in energy analysis.
