1 The number of households, where the end use is electric air-conditioning, does not include households that did not use their equipment (0.9 million). It does include the small number of households where the fuel for central air-conditioning equipment was something other than electricity; those households were treated as if the fuel was electricity. 2 Includes 642,000 households using room/wall air-conditioners in addition to central air-conditioning. These are excluded from the count of 25.2 million households using only room air-conditioners. (*) = Value rounds to zero in the units displayed. cf = Cubic feet. NF = No applicable RSE row factor. Q = Data withheld either because the Relative Standard Error (RSE) was greater than 50 percent or fewer than 10 households were sampled. Notes: • To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the corresponding column and row factors. • Because of rounding, data may not sum to totals. • See "Glossary" for definition of terms used in this report.
