Measuring The Electricity We Use In Our House
Run For Your Lives The Aliens Are Attacking Us, oops, heh heh, wrong post. Anyway, this chart is for electricity. Some of the days we use a lot more electricity than others because our bathroom was very damp (due to a leak that is now fixed) so we used a dehumidifier which uses a lot of electricity. Here is the chart.
Measuring The Water We Use In Our House
I have been measuring water and electricity as well as heat that we use in our house and have made charts of the readings. The average amount of water we use is 276 litres. Some days we have used more water than other days and that is because we do things like have baths and showers or wash a big load of dishes. Here is the chart.
Measuring The Heat We Use In Our House
I have been checking the heat meter every day. The meter measures how much heat we use, dad showed me how to put all my numbers that I got from the meter every day into a chart.
The average amount of heat we used is 47 kWh(kilowatt-hours) and in the past week we have used an average of 38.5.
As you may notice from the chart, some days we used a lot more heat than others, the reason is that we have not yet hooked up the thermostats so we just turn the pump on and off by hand, which means that if we forget, it stays on and we use more heat. On the first reading I took we were trying to heat up and dry out the house. Here is the chart.
