RESIDENTIAL SECTOR

Additional Information, Clarifications, and Exceptions to the Definitions

EIA has developed many surveys, forecasting tools, and tabulations on energy use and prices in the residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and electric power sectors. Because customer data needs and respondents recordkeeping systems may vary, there are differences in sectoral coverage among EIA's various programs.

For petroleum products, sales to apartment buildings are excluded.
