According to Natural Resources Canada, the average Canadian household consumes (Energy Use Data Handbook, August 2006): 18,200 kWh / year for Space Heating 7,700 kWh / year for Domestic Water Heating 10,000 kWh / year for Lighting and Appliances The chart below gives an illustration of when we typically use this energy over the course of a year.  However, statistics only hint at the uniqueness of your needs. For this reason it is important to have a careful discussion about usage patterns, maybe review your energy bills and then apply judgment to determine your needs. It is then possible to propose a renewable energy system specific to you. |
