Title: your direct energy use? Post by: Aske on October 03, 2006, 03:02:15 PM we use somewhere around 1000-1100 kwh/month summer, and around 700-800 kwh /month the rest of the year (this does not refect water heater, as the apartment building handles that)
we use about 20-25 gallons of gasoline a month (depending on exact amount of driving and city/highway) ... this is still alot considering how much we ride the shuttles/buses we need to do better :'( Title: Re: your direct energy use? Post by: dystopia on October 03, 2006, 04:15:11 PM Good question. We just moved and I've been meaning to compare our usage in the old vs. new house.
I just checked my online account and our old house averaged ~250 kWh/mo. over the last 11 months. Gas averaged ~17 Therms in summer, ~55 Therms in winter. This is for 2 people, 1 beagle. Ugh, the new house is bigger, though, and has AC. :-[ I'm even worse with gasoline. The new house is far from work, and my commute is now 1.5 hours each way. I'd estimate ~70 gallons/mo. just for me. Once we get settled in the new house, I'm going to find a closer job. Title: Re: your direct energy use? Post by: Aske on October 03, 2006, 04:55:39 PM Good question.
