Fig. 3 Estimated average heating consumption in a single family home. |
The graph in the above figure is based on the following formula (Gram-Hanssen 2005):
Annual heating consumption = 4816 kWH + (household area * 104 kWH/sqm)
Example: sqm housing = 100 Annual heating consumption (kWH) = 4816 + (100 * 104) = 4816 + 10400 = 15216
In some cases it can be easier to use the formula instead of reading the graph. The results are only approximations, as the formula is based on the median of numerous calculations.
