Combined electricity and gas energy calculator
Combined electricity and gas energy
Convert kWh and therms to a common heat-energy basis before adding them; gas volume is a different quantity.
Units
Etotal=3412×Ee+100,000×G
Etotal=3.6×Ee+G
Calculator
Enter the values you know and leave one box empty. Calculate finds the empty one, the result or any input.
Worked example
Given
- Ee = 24,000 kWh
- G = 650 therm
Etotal=3412×24,000+100,000×650=146,888,000
Given
- Ee = 10,800 kWh
- G = 36,000 MJ
Etotal=3.6×10,800+36,000=74,880
