Historical Winter Consumption
Historical Winter Consumption - 62. Historically, our electricity consumption would ordinarily increase during the winter from approximately 50-70 kWh/day to approximately 100 kWh/day, although actual consumption naturally varied between b...

AI summary Historical winter electricity consumption typically ranges from 50-70 kWh/day to 100 kWh/day. However, during the winter of 2024-2025, consumption spiked due to the failure of a geothermal system, forcing the use of electric resistance heating, which significantly increased daily usage.

On-site renewable energy contributions
On-site renewable energy contributions are subtracted from the rated annual energy consumption to calculate the EnerGuide rating. For the calculation of the rated greenhouse gas emissions, on-site electricity generation only offsets emissi...

AI summary On-site renewable energy contributions are subtracted from the rated annual energy consumption to calculate the EnerGuide rating. However, on-site electricity generation only offsets emissions related to electricity consumption, while a solar water heater reduces emissions from the energy source used for water heating.
