There are about 32,000 single family homes in Peterborough. If we assumed Professor Hill’s was about average (392.85) in terms of how much natural gas per year it consumed, how much natural gas could be saved if we retrofitted 5000 homes to reduce the energy needed for heating the building by 40%. The fraction of natural gas needed to heat hot water is about 10% and would not change after the retrofit.
