In 2024, 2-person households made up the majority in Singapore, with about ******* such households. As with the rest of the world, household sizes in Singapore were becoming smaller, while household numbers were increasing. This would inevitably put a strain on Singapore’s limited resources. The average Singapore household In 2024, the average Singapore household was made up of **** persons, with an average monthly income of ***** Singapore dollars per household member. The large majority of these households lived in Housing Development Board (HDB) apartments, the majority of which were owned by the head(s) of household. More households, more resources Between 2015 and 2024, the number of households in Singapore increased by *******. The increase in household numbers was a result of a decrease in household sizes - fewer people were sharing the same dwelling. This in turn leads to inefficient use of resources such as housing and electricity. From 2015, the number of HDB apartment units being built increased year-on-year. Household energy consumption in Singapore had been increasing since 2012 and is likely to continue increasing in the future. With limited land and resources, Singapore might face a problem to accommodate its rising number of small households.

Qatar has the highest per capita energy consumption worldwide. In 2023, residents in Qatar used an average of *** megawatt-hours worth of energy - all of which was derived from fossil fuels. Sources of primary energy In 2023, oil and coal were the main fuels used for primary energy worldwide. Except for the Nordic countries and Canada, all other countries listed among the leading 10 consumers sourced energy almost exclusively from fossil fuels. Many of them are also responsible for large oil production shares or the refining thereof. Differences in energy consumption There is a notable disparity between the highest and lowest energy users. Resource-rich countries outside the temperate climate zone tend to use more energy to heat or cool homes and are also more likely to use greater amounts of energy as costs are much lower. For example, electricity prices in oil and gas-producing countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia are only a fraction of those of resource-poor countries in Europe. Furthermore, energy consumption disparity is a strong indicator of the different income levels around the world and largely tied to economic prosperity.

CO2 emissions from other sectors, less residential buildings and commercial and public services, contains the emissions from commercial/institutional activities, residential, agriculture/forestry, fishing and other emissions not specified elsewhere that are included in the IPCC Source/Sink Categories 1 A 4 and 1 A 5. In the 1996 IPCC Guidelines, the category also includes emissions from autoproducers in the commercial/residential/agricultural sectors that generate electricity and/or heat. The IEA data are not collected in a way that allows the energy consumption to be split by specific end-use and therefore, autoproducers are shown as a separate item (Unallocated Autoproducers).; ; IEA Statistics © OECD/IEA 2014 (http://www.iea.org/stats/index.asp), subject to https://www.iea.org/t&c/termsandconditions/; Weighted average; Restricted use: Please contact the International Energy Agency for third-party use of these data.

In a survey on sustainable habits and awareness of climate change conducted in Singapore, around 41 percent of respondents stated that they used the air conditioner between three and six hours per day. This is despite them being aware that air conditioning units consume the most energy out of the common household electronics.
