but does 'industrial use' count office AC?
- _delirium 9y agoNo, office AC is commercial. The energy reporting used here is to group it into residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation. Residential is houses and apartments. Commercial is stores, office buildings, theaters, etc. Industrial is factories, refineries, ports, mines, oil rigs, etc. Transportation is well, transportation. The article breaks down Texas's usage as: industrial >50%, transportation ~25%, residential 13%, commercial ~10%. Which makes it odd that most of the discussion here is about climate and residential and commercial AC, neither of which are particularly significant factors. What's using most of Texas's energy are the chemical plants and refineries.
