Our heat is natural gas, 90KBTU/hr input, we have no air conditioning. We use a fair number of compact fluorescent lights, and have about 1600 sq ft and 3 adults in the house. zip code is 94549 to key to weather.
I consider our household fairly low energy consumers, esp with no air conditioner, but I am amazed at how poorly we perform in the winter. An electric space heater could run all day long for those prices. We have several computers that run 24hrs/day.
Perhaps some others would care to add their own power consumption data and we could analyze the seasonal effects and variance.
