Abstract
Did you know that in the United States residential buildings use more energy than commercial buildings? According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration,1 40% of all energy use in the U.S. is for buildings, with 22% for residential buildings and 18% for commercial buildings. (The rest is split about evenly between transportation and industry, Figure I.) About half of residential energy use in the U.S. is for space conditioning.
