Question

How do I convert 10649 KWh into (KWh/(m2-yr)?

(a) Use your answer to Question 4 to compute the annual energy consumption per square meter (kWh/(m²-yr)) of an average U.S. home. (According to Zillow, an average US home has a floor area of 1600 ft².) (b) Compare that amount to the primary energy target for "the best German buildings" of 100 kWh/(m²-yr) (Kibert, p. 273).
