Energy used for heating buildings, by source::
| Percentage of total energy used to heat buildings (0-100) | |
| Biomass | 0 |
| Coal | 0 |
| Electricity | 5 |
| Fuel oil | 0 |
| Geothermal | 0 |
| Natural gas | 28 |
| Other (please specify and explain below) | 0 |
A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
We don't meter energy just used for heating. So assumptions are as follows: Total Energy for SNHU sites (NG+ELEC+Propane) is 27,588,310 kwhr.
§ 45% of this is used for building hvac (per internet search for rule of thumb). So 12,414,739 kwhr's for hvac.
§ Of this, assumed 75% is used for heating. So 9,311,055 kwhr for heating.
§ Of this, assumed 85% is natural gas. So 7,914,396 kwhr for NG heating.
§ The remainder is heating by electrical load, so 1,396,658 kw-hr of electricity.
§ Percentages below are of the total load of 27,588,310 kwhr. Electricity energy for heating is 5% and Nat Gas energy for heating 28% of Total energy consumed at all snhu sites.
