In order to improve I think it is important to understand how others are doing when it comes to efficiency?
why you ask am I doing this well, the other day I got my gas bill, and am absolutely disgusted by how much we used. I give in to comfort more then I should and therefore my bill was ridiculously high.
alright so here's what I want. Your electricity consumption in kWh, there should be a number on your bill that states how many kilowatt hours you used in a month. second number is Gas, how much gas do you use in a month in cubic meters. and third how much water do you use in cubic meters, mine says in M3, which is the same thing.
And to start off I will give my pathetic numbers for the last billing period, as much as i don't want to share my consumption I think it will be good for me and everyone to see how we are doing and motivate us.
Darren's consumption(most of Jan some of Feb) Electricity = 791 kWh, GAS = 408.673 cubic meters, Water = 26.6 M3

ok, I'll see what mine says. Not sure how it will compare to yours.
Electric-1794 kwh ( $122.17)
Water-8990...? ($34.60)
we don't have gas.
I think the US uses Gallons for this.
so 8990 gallons = 34 cubic meters
1 cubic meter = 264.172051 gallons
712 kwh
18 GJ
15 M3 on water
Thanks Nikki, According to energy.gov.ab.ca to covert GJ to cubic meter of natural gas multiply by 26.8 so.
18 GJ = 482.4 cubic meters
Electric - 748 kWh
Gas - 17.452 GJ (467 cubic meters)
Water - 22 M3
I can't post mine since we live here in the boonies and we have well water and I don't pay the electric or gas bill, Since its the whole farm in one bill I'm sure for Barry. I might see if I can find an old one from St. George....hmmm -if I can find it in the mess.
898kwh
18m3 water
41.35GJ
This is awful but we know that we are losing alot through our windows
thank goodness we can be on a budget.
Ok, give me a couple more days, I am trying to get a couple more peoples numbers together for more comparison, and then I will blog.
Hmmmm... I have started some comparisons to average CDN and US numbers along with some other school mates, and figured that my water consumption number was for 2 months of use, so assuming equal usage I would be at 13.3 m3 /month.
Also I should point out that my number for kWh is metered quantity, not what they are charging me for, which is inflated due to a conversion factor in there benefit
So If anyone else is thinking there numbers might be weird at this point, add another comment with the adjustment.
Darren-I found some old bills and its hard to read them....
Water- 5000 is my average over the year. (wow Leanne's is HIGH!!)
Energy charge -1839 (63 KWH-charged $3.26KWH)
Gas-hard to read-2.5 DTH (on the back of the bill it says that Decatherm is a standard measurement for heat, which is equal to 1 million Btu(British Thermal Units)
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the TV de LCD, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://tv-lcd.blogspot.com. A hug.
Dude you need to change the title of this post from Time to Improve to Time to Blog. :P
