energy use 331 Osgoode Street

We now have 5 months of energy use data from the triplex. All the figures are for the whole building. Average monthly electrical consumption is 712 kwh. Natural gas consumption readings from Enbridge vary widely between 25 and 200 cubic meters as each other month is estimated and I guess the algorithms are having trouble figuring out what to estimate. Average monthly use is 92.2 cu m. Converting the natural gas use to kwh and adding on the electrical consumption results in an average monthly energy use of 1678 kwh. The buildings net sqm is 270 (gross is 310 nic basement). The result is approximately 6.5 kwh per sqm per month. This does not include a winter yet, however using the current monthly average we are 77 kwh per sq m per year, well below the 120 target for a passive house building. The winter will tell if we get to below that level over the complete year, but so far it looks promising. The current average per person annualized ghg emissions are approx 400 kilograms for both electrical and natural gas use (6 people live in the building). This will go up somewhat as we go through the winter.
