** We are looking to define a Model Dwelling of 1,000 sq ft. Formula for an annual energy allotment of Electricity and Water based technology energies..( 10’x10’ greenhouse, 1-car heated garage, tool shed, 250 gallon water storage tank, 50 gallon hot water htr, all electric home, single occupancy, 1- electric, air, or hydrogen vehicle)
**note this home energy footprint estimate needs official review and is an estimate only.
