Use this table to analyze your own Data Commentary DRAFT.

Concentrate on one explanation: start the analysis with the topic


sentence and analyze the rest of the text. Treat dependent clauses as separate sentences; and treat compound sentences (two
independent clauses joined with ‘and’ as separate sentences.
Once you’ve completed the table, look for patterns. Is there a strong theme/new organization? Is new information in theme position?
Are there too many interpersonal/ textual/ circumstance themes?
This analysis will help you to revise your final draft.

Hundreds of people have died in the United States and Canada

Due to Heat waves that burned the Pacific Northwest.

This phenomenon raises concerns that the summer is becoming hotter than
usual
According to scientists these extreme heat events will become more frequent in the upcoming years due to
climate change
Causing Seattle, Portland, and to upgrade their homes with air conditioning (AC)
Northern California residents
As a result, The question arises of how to maintain public safety and comfort during
hazardous heat waves at an affordable and energy-efficient
cost
Heat pumps are a potential/attractive solution since they can efficiently
keep a home cool and comfortable in the summer and heat
the home during winter
A heat pump is a device that absorbs heat from a low-temperature
environment (source)
And then
distributes it into a higher-temperature area called a sink by
using electrical energy (Government of Canada, 2022).

And the total amount of carbon emitted in Seattle, Washington, between June 26-28, 2021

As can be seen, a heat pump produces the lowest ambient temperature even though
more electrical energy is required compared to the high-
capacity AC and typical AC.
However the electrical power used by the heat pump compared to the temperature
produced shows that the heat pump is very efficient
. The efficiency of the heat is due to the presence of two-speed compressors, a unique
pump cooling cycle, and scroll compressors.
The two-speed compressors enable the heat pump to run at maximum performance only
when necessary, after running most of the time at a lower
speed.
This double-stage method enables the heat pump to consume energy as needed rather
than operating at total
