My Energy use Diary

A_fiend_for_life

I'm gas and electric

I come as 'D' as I can't divide by the number of people in the household.

Driver - no passengers.:rolleyes:

One of the questions is 'why is my rating so low?' Apparently this is a statistical issue as those showing an interest are likely to be more efficient. More members might get my energy rating up!!:j

I'm now 14/19 .

Memo to self - put readings in early monday again and don't check back when everyone else has put theirs in.

I've passed on the info to my challenge thread in the hope of encouraging a few more. Hope it helps us a bit

I've just put my readings in for last week

I'm ranked 1/19
have used 135 kwh
which costs £16.20 (although my figure is £13.60)
71kg CO2

I don't have a carbon reading as haven't been on site for 4 weeks yet.

I am an all electric house with oil for water and heat.

I put the comparison for same number of occupants all households


Daytime units used - 110 = 12.40

Nighttime units used - 25 = 1.20

Apart from DH being back at work everything has been the same as the previous week, and my washer still isn't fixed.

Not that I'm obsessed with this or anything :rolleyes:... but I'm now 16/19. But if I change from houses with kids to just gas/elec households I'm ranked 6/19.

If I do all households with same number of occupants, I'm 17/19 although I'm compared with 0 households. Don't get it.

Magentasue, I didn't get it either, so I played about with the settings and it looks like there are only 85 households who have been recording data for a minimum of 4 weeks, so the chance of finding a household identical to your own is very slim. Maybe best stick to all households, all types and then switch it to similar circumstances once the site picks up a bit and gathers more support. A couple of the settings I tried had comparisons against 0 other households. It's early days yet and I'm sure their system will improve as it becomes wider known

I checked the thermostat and it was between 45 and 50, so maybe the thermostat is not working?? <scratches head>

Off to find out about this letter ranking you're all raving about on imeasure now......

bigpaws23

Oh good lord, I'm an E <hangs head in shame>
and listed as 13/21. I'll look into this further............thanks for the heads up

I gave myself a household of 4 to test it out and it bumped up to A.

I couldn't find the Carbon Club Results where abouts is that one!?

My ranking has gone down to 18/20 oh dear thought I'd done really well this week.
