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.

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?]]> Latest year-on-year consumption figures https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5994&Focus=84937#Comment_84937 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5994&Focus=84937#Comment_84937 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:23:49 +0100 Paul in Montreal Posted By: SteamyTeaAm 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.
