5. Outline Environmental Dimension Energy Indicators –Energy CO 2 per capita –CO 2 intensity of elecrticity –Energy emission per household –CO 2 emissions of cars Energy Efficiency versus Energy Intensity

6. Comments Overall scheme of chapter well received with some suggested changes Need for country examples on selected indicators Suggested section on seasonal and temperature adjustments Text on importance of energy statistics for GHG emissions

7. Comments Mention efficiency v intensity earlier where indicator examples are presented Text and typo changes to improve readability Suggested improvements to the indicator template Provide a methodological sheet to highlight importance, usefulness, algorithm and possible interpretation

8. Example Methodological Sheet

9. Additional chapter input Country indicator examples using template Methodological sheets Household indicators sections requires additional text Other suggestion?
