Real Numbers for a LEED for Homes Indiana Success Story The
Gulyas residence in Bloomington, Indiana was one of the first
homes in Indiana to receive LEED for Homes Platinum
certification. Through the use of passive house techniques and
additional sustainable design strategies this project easily met
and surpassed the criteria for LEED. A home energy metric
measuring energy per square foot calculation and spreadsheet was
created by Allison Bailes III, PhD, to help effectively measure
electric and gas usage in a house. AES used this spreadsheet on
this project to help get an idea of how efficient the Gulyas
residence is. The number of kilowatt hours per year for electric
(no gas is used) at the Gulyas residence is 6,675, which
averages to 556.25 kilowatt hours per month. The cost per year
in 2011 was $960.07, averaging to $80.011 per month for all
energy heating, cooling & electricity. The spreadsheet also
contains a helpful key which describes the efficiency of the
house in terms of kilowatt hour per square f
