your home

The implications for all homes in Canada are profound:

Canada had 14,925,000 households in 2020, with a total of 2,190 million m2 of floorspace
each household consumes an average of 26,583 kWh a year of energy, of which 16,242 kWh is for space heating, 4,804 kWh for water heating, 668 kWh for space cooling (sub-total of 21,714 kWh for thermal energy uses) with 3,886 kWh for appliances and 983 kWh for lights (sub-total of 4,870 kWh for 'plug' load)
each household emits 3,826 kg of GHG each year, of which 2,465 kg is from space heating, 763 kg from water heating, 71 kg from space cooling (sub-total of 3,299 kg from thermal energy applications) with 423 kg from appliances and 104 kg from lights (sub-total of 527 kg from 'plug' load)
a ground-source heat pump must produce & deliver 3.2 units of energy for every 1.0 unit of electricity it consumes for production; COP 3.2 is minimum under federal regulations but it can be much higher
to produce 21,714 kWh of thermal demand, a heat pump requires less than 6,785 kWh for performance electricity
with a heat pump, your home produces 21,714 kWh of renewable energy and consumes 11,655 kWh (6,785 + 4,870 plug) of commercial grid energy; this ratio exceeds the definition of net zero and your home becomes 'net zero PLUS'
your home also eliminates 3.3 tonnes of carbon emission from thermal end uses if it installs a heat pump
