Within each of these sectors, final energy use is driven by the demand for energy services, such as motor drive, mass displacement, chemical conversions, lighting, heating and cooling. Here, the demand for energy is considered a function of three groups of parameters and processes: | Within each of these sectors, final energy use is driven by the demand for energy services, such as motor drive, mass displacement, chemical conversions, lighting, heating and cooling.

The ways in which these factors are implemented varies across the different sectors. For some sectors, a detailed end-use service-oriented modelling approach was implemented. For other sectors, the description is more generic and aggregate. It should be noted that energy prices link the demand modules with other parts of the energy model, as they respond dynamically to changes in demand, supply and conversion. | The ways in which these factors are implemented varies across the different sectors.

Key policy issues
- How will energy demand evolve particularly in emerging and medium- and low-income economies?
- What is the mix of end-use energy carriers to meet future energy demand?
- How can energy efficiency contribute to reducing the growth rate of energy demand and mitigate pressures on the global environment?
Introduction
"model component" is not in the list (driver component, pressure component, interaction component, state component, impact component, response component) of allowed values for the "FrameworkElementType" property.
