Abstract

A table illustrating energy efficiency opportunities across five household and personal categories: car fuel efficiency (miles per gallon), home energy use (thousand joules per square meter), refrigerator power usage (kilowatt-hours per day), gas furnace energy consumption (million joules per day), and air conditioning energy use (kilowatt-hours per day). The table compares the model average, new model average, best model, and best prototype for each category, showing significant potential for improved energy efficiency in household items and transportation.
