NEW AND PLANNED HOMES

Plan your new home's energy use.

Build a documented estimate from the home you plan to live in: its occupants, heating and cooling, appliances and daily routines. See the major loads before you commit that estimate to a report.

No usage history still leaves decisions to make

A new house, a move or a major renovation can leave you without a useful year of electricity bills. Another household's use may also reflect different equipment and habits.

Watt Wisdom gives you a place to record the planned home and test its electricity demand. Review the assumptions with the builder, installer or person helping you plan. Without measured bills, the result remains an estimate to check as real use becomes available.

What to have ready

The home you are planning

Location, approximate floor area, construction details and expected occupants. Use the planned home rather than the place you live now.

Major equipment and fuels

Heating and cooling specifications, water heating, cooking and dryer fuels. An electric and a gas appliance do not belong in the same electricity estimate.

Expected patterns of use

Thermostat settings, time at home and equipment operating hours. If an EV is planned, include annual mileage, efficiency and the share charged at home.

What is decided and what is still open

Mark planned equipment and review uncertain specifications. The new-home purpose treats unmarked equipment as planned; verify those statuses before saving a report.

A record of the home behind the number

  • Estimated annual electricity and its largest equipment and end-use contributors.
  • A list of planned loads and the assumptions that need confirmation.
  • Monthly detail where equipment schedules and weather inputs support it.
  • A full energy report and concise consumption-planning report, saved together from the same assessment for $19 once.

This does not predict an exact future bill, certify building performance or design the electrical service. Ask the recipient what documentation it needs before using the report for an application.
