Posted By: JTGreenBut you still use electricity to run your GSHP, don't you? So it should let you enter the kWh of electricity you are using to run that - even if you haven't reduced your heating requirement.Yes I do use electricity, but it's pretty much 100% hydroelectric so the CO2 emission figures that it would produce for me would be way off - and my heating load is about 3x higher than my electricity consumption. I have been reading my meter religiously about once a week for the past 5 years too - annual demand has gone down from about 19,000kWh to the current ~16000kWh as various walls have been slightly insulated and airtightness improved.
Posted By: JTGreen"CO2" is just being used as a surrogate measure for "energy use" by imeasure.- true, but it ascribes a much higher CO2 figure for electric heating compared to gas, for the same number of kWh consumed. Though since I'm using a heatpump with a measured COP of around 3ish, it probably comes out to the same overall.
