Creetown - Energy Demand

Hot Water

The hot water heating requirement was calculated based on a hot water temperature of 50^oC and cold water temperature of 10^oC. The hot water consumptions were assumed to be:

Table 1: Hot Water Consumption

Hot Water Consumption (litres/person/day)	50
Dishwashing	20
Washing Machine	30

The occupancy levels at Glenqicken House are fairly constant throughout the year; with only 2 residents.

Based on the energy demand methodology, the monthly heat requirement for hot water was calculated.

Electricity

The electricity demand for Creetown was calculated according to our energy demand methodology.

The Creetown case study represents a residential and domestic rural dwelling with 2 occupants. There is a well insulated, two storey traditional Swedish house with a green roof and double glazing.

The total annual electicity demand was calculated to be 12,270 kWh. The cost of electricity is 10.24 p/kWh, therefore the annual cost of electricity is approximately £1,256.
