In this article we decompose changes in US residential energy supply and GHG emissions over the period 1990–2015 into relevant drivers for four end-use categories. The chosen drivers encompass changing demographics, housing characteristics, energy end-use intensities, and generation efficiency and GHG intensity of electricity. Reductions in household size, growth in heated floor area per house, and increased access to space cooling are the main drivers of increases in energy and GHG emissions after population growth. Growing shares of newer homes, and reductions in intensity of energy use per capita, household, or floor area have produced moderate primary energy and GHG emission reductions, but <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 251, 0);" class="">improved generation efficiency and decarbonization of electricity supply have brought about far bigger primary energy and GHG emission reductions. <b class="">Continued decline of residential emissions from electrification of residential energy and decarbonization of electricity supply can be expected, but</b></span></span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; background-color: rgb(255, 251, 0);" class=""><b class=""> </b></span><span style="font-kerning: none; background-color: #fffb00" class=""><b class="">not fast enough</b> to limit climate change to 1.5 °C warming. US residential final energy demand will therefore need to decline in absolute terms to meet such a target. However, without changes in the age distribution, type mix, or average size of housing, improvements in energy efficiency are unlikely to outweigh growth in the number of households from population growth and further household size reductions.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;

As environmental scientist David Orr points out in<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">Down to the Wire</i>, what is needed is a radical shift in culture that alters our priorities. The question is whether that task, which seems impossible, can be made to happen.

Although we have increasing knowledge of the dangers and costs ahead, there is little time to avert a disaster. Orr acknowledges these dire circumstances, but does not wallow in despair or defeatism. His book is a clear-sighted view of what we need to change now.</span><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; -webkit-font-kerning: none;" class=""> </span></p><div class=""><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; -webkit-font-kerning: none;" class=""><br class=""></span></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
