    readings for the week processed.

    Electricity down by 2kWh (so it looks like not using TV/radio/laptop offset the use of the tumble dryer)

    Gas down by a whopping 34kWh, which equates to a whopping 27% reduction since last week :T

    Household CO2 down by 8kg (14.5%)


    Compared to this week last year, I've seen a drop in electricity of 7kWh (11%) and in gas of 23kWh (20%). Household CO2 down by 7kg, which is almost 13%.

    My CO2 was down 14.4% so nearly snap there :)

    If only this mild spell wasn't due to change at the weekend, already this week I'm over 30% down on this time last week :eek:

    Forgot I had a question, wondered if those of you who have a history of annual readings could tell me roughly at which point of the year do you hit half way with your consumption?

    Just done some quick crunching on my 2009 meter readings

    Taking useage from 30/12/2008 to 28/12/2009 (closest I can get to the calendar year), I used 3346kWh electricity and 7202kWh gas

    So the half way points are 1673 (elec) and 3601 (gas)

    Electricity reached 1674kWh on 6/7/2009 (was 1609kWh on 29/6/2009), and gas reached 3659kWh on 30/3/2009 (was 3465kW on 23/3/2009).

    2 x (D-side of) C's for me again with last weeks readings.

    This weeks just plugged into my spreadsheet, which show a drop of 5kWh (9%) on the electricity (despite having my pressure washer out again yesterday, but I managed to do one less washload than normal at the weekend and was out from Fri eve until Sun am) but an increase (!) of 12kWh (13%) on my gas

    Not sure why the increase in gas - unless DS has figured how to boost the heating when I'm not home :o

    CO2 still down by 1kg though :)

  • Last weeks results got me A+ on both groups and 4 kg of CO2.:j

    This weeks results are a little higher than expected with 23 kWh of gas, 16 kWh of elecricity and 13.2 kg of CO2 - well OK over 200% higher.:eek::)
