This is our first Passive House project but our utilities projections for unit consumption look great.I am operating only on the construction side of this project and have not gotten involved in the development, investment, or ownership side.   

With two wars going on, very little products to sell to the world and no signs of real long term reduction in consumption of import - we are doomed.

At the same time, demand for natural gas is expected to be down 1.1 percent this winter, w ith consumption of heating oil down 1.9 percent, propane down 0.6 percent and electricity up 0.1 percent, the agency said.MBS purchase program winding downThe Federal Reserve has started to wind down its agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) purchase program, announcing $2 billion fewer purchases for the week ending September 30, while a separate Fed program, the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) continues to have a strong impact on the commercial mortgage market and has already pulled spreads lower.

Change to low consumption toilets, low flow showerheads and faucets. 

We dont have a digestive system designed for meat consumption, and cant deal with the cholesterol and uric acid.

We all benefit, just some more than others (economic benefit) and I'd say it's balanced to our abilities, consumption and financial position.I have no respect for anyone who is so cold hearted that they spit on someone receiving aid due to them having MS as the Teapartier did at a demonstration last year or so, I kinda wish I'd have been there to make an on the spot correction!

However, I have also been involved in creating studies where LEED Certification and/or building under green standards, generally can been found to be minimally more money on the front end (Construction) with all  the savings/value on the back end (Consumption, maintenance cost, and resale values) that we would hope to achieve by undertaking a project of this scope.  

The meter reads at a consumption of 8753 (gallons?).

Where most people, I suspect, get into trouble is that they do not bankroll the wads for a rainy day, and instead use the returns to either create an empire with too many risky properties, or use it to fuel a consumption lifestyle that isn't warranted with a decent amount of debt to service.

So, I have to think about this, but based on the anecdotal evidence I'm receiving, it's probably worth me setting up and running my own test.Also, @Trevor Mauch in the IC terms of services there's this:"If your bandwidth usage exceeds 300 MB/month, or significantly exceeds the average bandwidth usage of our other customers, we reserve the right to immediately disable your account or throttle your file hosting until you reduce your bandwidth consumption."
