TERMS

Energy Consumption: The use of energy as a source of heat or power or

as an input in the manufacturing process.

Energy Consumption, End-Use: The sum of fossil fuel consumption by

the four end-use sectors (residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation)

plus electric utility sales to those sectors and generation of hydroelectric

power by nonelectric utilities. Net end-use energy consumption

excludes electrical system energy losses. Total end-use energy consumption

includes electrical system energy losses.

Energy Consumption, Total: The sum of fossil fuels and renewable

energy consumed by the five sectors (residential, commercial, industrial,

transportation, and electric utility) plus coal coke net imports, nuclear

electric power, and hydroelectric pumped storage.

British Thermal Unit (Btu): The quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature

of 1 pound of water by 1° F at or near 39.2° F.

Electric Utility Sector: The electric utility sector consists of privately

and publicly owned establishments that generate, transmit, distribute, or

sell electricity primarily for use by the public and that meet the definition

of an electric utility. Nonutility power producers are not included in the

electric utility sector.

Commercial Sector: The commercial sector, as defined economically,

consists of business establishments that are not engaged in transportation

or in manufacturing or other types of industrial activity (agriculture, mining,

or construction). Commercial establishments include hotels, motels,

restaurants, wholesale businesses, retail stores, laundries, and other service

enterprises; religious and nonprofit organizations; health, social, and educational

institutions; and Federal, State, and local governments. Street

lights, pumps, bridges, and public services are also included if the establishment

operating them is considered commercial. Standard Industrial

Classification (SIC) codes used to classify an establishment as commercial

are 50 through 87, 89, and 91 through 97.

Industrial Sector: The industrial sector comprises manufacturing industries

which make up the largest part of the sector, along with mining, construction,

agriculture, fisheries, and forestry. Establishments in this sector

range from steel mills, to small farms, to companies assembling electronic

components. The SIC codes used to classify establishments as industrial

are 1 through 39.

Residential Sector: The residential sector is considered to consist of all

private residences, whether occupied or vacant, owned or rented, including

single-family homes, multifamily housing units, and mobile homes. Secondary

homes, such as summer homes, are also included. Institutional

housing, such as school dormitories, hospitals, and military barracks, generally

are not included in the residential sector; they are included in the

commercial sector. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code used

to classify an establishment as residential is 88 (Household).

Transportation Sector: The transportation sector consists of private and

public vehicles that move people and commodities. Included are automobiles,

trucks, buses, motorcycles, railroads, and railways (including streetcars),

aircraft, ships, barges, and natural gas pipelines. The SIC codes used

to classify establishments as belonging to the transportation sector are 40

through 49.
