Just got my latest year-on-year energy consumption figures - they're the lowest since I started renovating my old house.
Total electricity consumption: 14,990kWh
Total gas consumption: 210m3 = 2322kWh
Total energy used: 17312kWh
Total energy per heated floor space per annum (excluding basement): 96.4kWh/m2/year
Total energy per heated floor space inc basement: 65.9kWh/m2/year
Not bad for a 112 year old house with not much insulation ... I guess the GSHP really helps keep the consumption low.

Paul
Am I right in thinking that most of your electrical power is from Hydro and nuclear with a bit of gas for balancing where you are? -

No gas at all, about 96% hydro with some nuclear (1 station) and some diesel and wind generators in some remote areas. To all intents and purposes, we're as close to 100% hydro as you can get. For balancing, there's plenty of run-of-the-river hydro schemes that provide close to instantaneous balancing as far as I understand.

Cooking and hot water - though the hot water is pre-heated by the GSHP.Posted By: Mike (Up North)I'm sure its already quoted somewhere but what is the sq m areas of living space
Main living space is 179.5m2, basement is 87.5m2 (1950 and 950 square feet respectively - the basement is less due to the walls being much thicker than the main floors).Posted By: delboyPaul why would you exclude the basement? It is heated, right?
It is heated, but I wouldn't classify it as living space as the ceiling is only 6' high. It's around 950 square feet.
