Household Energy Consumption Survey, Australia: Summary of Results, 2012 (cat. no. 4670.0)
This publication contains really interesting statistics on household energy consumption in Australia. A feature of the publication that I found especially interesting was the comparison of dwelling energy, fuel consumption, and total energy expenditure by State and Territory. This publication covers topics including economic resources, dwelling characteristics, family composition of households and climates affects on household energy use.
