[Greenbuilding] multi-splits

[Paul Eldridge]

Hi Richard,

Good point !  I'll keep my eyes open for any suspicious activity in the 
area -- you know their agents are everywhere, even Long Island as we 
speak. :-)

We're forty-seven days into the current billing cycle and have consumed 
622 kWh thus far for space heating, DHW, cooking (induction), major 
appliances and plug loads -- an average of 12.23 kWh per day.  This same 
forty-seven day period last year, we stood at 1,007 kWh or 21.42 
kWh/day, so we're continuing to make good progress.

As noted before, the previous home owners in the year prior to our 
purchase consumed 5,700 litres of fuel oil and 14,000+ kWh of 
electricity.  We've basically eliminated oil altogether [for an annual 
savings of some $6,200.00 before HST], and cut our electricity usage by 
40 per cent.  Our twelve month rolling average is now running in the 
range of 8,500 kWh per annum and falling.  I figure our new Nyle will 
get us pretty close to the 7,000 mark, which will put our total 
household usage at about 30 kWh per sq. metre, down from a whopping 323 
kWh/m2 back in 2001.

Cheers,
Paul
