I-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Commercial/Residential Sector Trend in Standby Power Consumption
The amount of standby power consumed at households accounts for approximately 10% of the total household power consumption (equivalent to TV power consumption at all households).

*Standby Power Consumption : Power consumed while electrical appliances are not in use. (Power consumption for the timer function, remote controller receiver, etc.)

I-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Commercial/Residential Sector

Transition of Floor Space by Industry in the Commercial Sector

The energy consumption in the commercial sector is consistently increasing.This is attributed to a significant increase in total floor area for offices, business buildings, etc.

(Note) The figures in the graph represent each industry's floor area ratio against the industry total.

I-2. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Transportation Sector Transition of Energy Consumption in the Transportation Sector
Energy consumption in the transportation sector surged after oil crisis and has leveled off in recent years. Per-capita energy consumption in the transportation sector is on the increase in all major countries.
