Even a very well insulated home can use quite a bit of electricity. The most rigorous standard for home efficiency, the Passive House standard, stipulates that no more that 15kWh/m^2/yr is used for space heating. For a 200m^2 house, that's 3000kWh/yr. Given a 120 day (4 month) heating season, that's 25kWh/day average just for space heating. Obviously it varies quite a bit, with some days much higher and others much lower. Add in other electricity uses, like refrigeration, laundry, and you're easily at 40+ kWh/day even in an efficient Passive House. |
