5. METHODOLOGY SHEETS
This chapter presents the methodology sheets for the Energy Indicators for
Sustainable Development (EISD), grouped according to the social, economic and
environmental dimensions.
Definitions for a number of the energy, economic and environmental terms used in
this report are given in Annex 1. Additionally, acronyms used throughout the report
are listed in Annex 2.
The units specified for the indicators in each of the methodology sheets represent, in
most cases, recommended units based on data availability and should facilitate
international analysis. Individual countries may decide to use different units based on
national practices and the specific objectives sought in using this analytical tool.
Annex 4 includes a summary of relevant units and conversions that may be useful to
the reader.
It is recommended that all economic data (including gross domestic product, value
added and prices) used to develop the EISD be in terms of constant prices (i.e.
deflated to a base year — for example, 2000). These data may be in national
currencies. In the case of international analysis, the monetary units should be
converted into a common currency (e.g. US dollars or euros), preferably in terms of
purchasing power parity or, for specific applications, in terms of exchange rates.
