A per-person energy consumption model was created which can estimate the energy consumed by the average Irish citizen based on user-entered characteristics. The model is built almost entirely on a bottom-up approach which gives a better understanding of energy consumption on a per-person basis than the currently available per-capita estimates. It was found that the average Irish person consumes 69.9 MWh annually, of which only 28% is consumed directly with the remainder coming from indirect energy sources, primarily the energy embodied in purchased goods and services. It was determined that 51% of Ireland’s overall energy consumption is imported in the form of embodied energy.

交互式、自下而上的模型，用于审计爱尔兰公民每年真实的人均能源消耗（直接和嵌入）

创建了一个人均能源消耗模型，可以根据用户输入的特征来估计爱尔兰公民平均消耗的能源。该模型几乎完全建立在自下而上的方法上，与目前可用的人均估计相比，该模型可以更好地了解人均能源消耗。研究发现，爱尔兰人平均每年消耗 69.9 兆瓦时的电量，其中只有 28% 是直接消耗的，其余部分来自间接能源，主要是购买的商品和服务中包含的能源。据确定，爱尔兰总能源消耗的 51%是以隐含能源的形式进口的。
