ENERGY USE IN HOUSES<br />
<strong>The</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> energy consumed to provide the energy services<br />
<strong>of</strong> space heating, domestic hot water heating, lighting and<br />
appliances can vary substantially from house to house. Factors<br />
influencing household energy consumption include: levels <strong>of</strong><br />
insulation and airtightness, efficiency <strong>of</strong> mechanical systems for<br />
space heating and hot water, choice <strong>of</strong> lighting and appliances,<br />
size <strong>of</strong> house, and occupant lifestyles.<br />

year. For homes heated with oil, this represents 2,750 litres to<br />
4,000 litres per year. For those heated with propane, it ranges<br />
from 3,250 litres to 4,650 litres per year. <strong>The</strong> electricity use<br />
for all houses ranges from 13,600 to 15,100 kilowatt hours<br />
per year for hot water heating, lighting and appliances. Given<br />
this consumption, energy costs 5 range from $3,890 to $5,320<br />
per year for the use <strong>of</strong> a combination <strong>of</strong> oil or propane and<br />
electricity; associated greenhouse gas emissions range from<br />
5.5 tonnes to 11.7 tonnes <strong>of</strong> equivalent CO 2<br />
per year.<br />
