Uses of energy.

We use a lot of energy in our homes, in businesses, in industry, and for personal travel and transporting goods.

There are four major sectors that consume energy:

• The industrial sector includes facilities and equipment used for manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and construction. 

• The transportation sector comprises vehicles that transport people or goods, such as: cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, trains, subways, aircraft, boats, barges, and even hot air balloons. 

• The residential sector consists of homes and apartments.

• The commercial sector includes buildings such as offices, malls, stores, schools, hospitals, hotels, warehouses, restaurants, places of worship, and more.
