Household Energy (Gas Heat)  My house-November 173 “therms” –$0.45 per day –$0.39 per therm for first 29 therms –$0.22 per therm for next 39 therms –$1.36 per therm delivery charge –Total Cost is $266  What is a therm?

Therm  =100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU)  ~100 cubic feet of natural gas at standard temperature and pressure  29.3 kilowatt-hours  htm htm htm  1 therm = 0.80 gallons of gasoline –173 thems = 138 gallons of gasoline  1 therm ~ 11 pounds of dry wood

Household Energy (Electricity)  1542 kilowatt-hours –Delivery charges $0.065 per kWh –Generation charges $0.108 per kWh  Total Cost=$333  1542 kwh=42 gallons of gasoline

How much energy does it take to power a human?  2000 Calories per day  365 days per year  730,000 Calories = 23 gallons of gasoline per year –Or about 600 miles driven

Energy Usage Figure by UMB OpenCourseWare

Energy Usage  Industrial (Facilities used for producing and processing goods.) –22% chemical production –16% petroleum refining –14% metal smelting/refining  Transportation (Vehicles which transport people/goods) –61% gasoline fuel –21% diesel fuel –12% aviation  Residential (Living quarters for private households.) –32% space heating –13% water heating –12% lighting –11% air conditioning –8% refrigeration –5% electronics –5% wet-clean (mostly clothes dryers)  Commercial (Service-providing facilities and equipment (businesses, government, etc) –25% lighting –13% heating –11% cooling –6% refrigeration –6% water heating –6% ventilation –6% electronics

Energy Homework (2 pts)  1.) Find your household Electricity and Heating (oil, natural gas, or propane). Determine your annual energy usage per household. –Note: If you rent and do not pay your own utilities, try to find this from your landlord. If not available, find this number for the average American.  2.) Convert the total energy usage (for electrical and for heat) to gallons of gasoline (US) using the following website:   3.) Estimate how much energy your household could realistically conserve.
