URBAN METABOLISM

Energy breakdown by end use and sector in UK, 2010 Estimates derived from UK Statistics Authority

Energy breakdown by end use and sector in UK, 2010 Estimates derived from UK Statistics Authority

>50% Energy is influenced by planning


(Data from Newman and Kenworthy, 2000)


Variables affecting energy consumption. In the X axis variation factors related to each variable (after Ratti, Baker and Steemers) In the Y axis potential lifespan for behavioural changes, systems, building and the urban context


Final domestic energy use in London boroughs in 2008 (data from GLA,2010 Leggi 2008 Database) Barcelona council mean final domestic energy use in 2008 (data from Ajuntament de Barcelona, statistics office)
