I don't think so. Economic growth != amount of consumption gross. Economic growth can be linked to innovation, luxury, well-being. And using less energy to achieve the same thing as before is economic growth. Also, there, they only measure houses energy consumption: how much energy goes into producing insulation? How much energy goes into producing Prius' batteries and recycling them?
