Hi AllTrying to get my energy usage down, it would be useful to see what otherpeople use (obviously annonymously) does such a database exist somewhere? Iwould have thought info on number of rooms, use of things likeheating/dishwasher/washing machine/pc/server etc could be included ???

at the moment I am getting the weekly electricity usage down from160Kwh/week down to about 110Kwh/week over a period of about a year -situation is complicated because the number of children in the house variesover a 2 week cycle .....

database of energy use in uk houses??

on an immersion heater to do that. 20 minutes in the morning was enough to provide enough hot water for the whole day, and no risk of forgetting to switch it off.
