From: Sustainability indices for energy utilization using a multi-criteria decision model
Factor | Variable | Intensity - measurement |
|---|---|---|
Energy | Final energy consumption (tera joules) (TJ) | Final energy consumption per capita (giga joules per person) |
| Â | Electricity consumption in industrial and residential sectors (kilowatt hour) (kWh) | Electricity consumption in the residential sector per capita (kWh per person) |
Economic issue | GDP (million US$2005) population | Energy intensity: final energy consumption per GDP (TJ/million US$2005) |
| Â | Number of industries (an industrial establishment has a minimum of 10 employees and annual minimum production value of US$50,000) | Electricity consumption in the industrial sector per industry (kWh per industry) |
Environmental issue | Emissions: sulfur dioxide SO2 (ppb), particulate matter (microgram per cubic meter) (μg/m3), CO2 emissions (kilotons) | Energy consumption per CO2 emissions (TJ/kilotons) CO2 emissions per capita (tonnes/person) CO2 emissions per GDP (tonnes/million US$2005) |
Social issue | GINI, HDI, urban density (population/km2) | Â |
