Vringer, K. (2005) Analysis of the ernergy requirement for household consumption Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, Bilthoven. Thesis. ISBN: 90-6960-130-3

Consumers use energy for their consumption. This use is both direct, for example electricity and natural gas, but also indirect, for the production, transport and trade of other goods and services. The main objective of this thesis is to gain insight into the energy requirement associated with household consumption patterns.

In this thesis an analysis is made of the energie requirement of consumption in six, separate readable chapters.
