Did you take the stairs or did you ride in an eletric powered lift?

 

 

To be fair we did walk up the last six flights as the queue for the elevator was half an hour!  Very impressive lifts  - ground floor to eightieth in less time than some uk lifts do four floors.

There are plenty of members on AT from across the globe, so what are you paying atm for gas and electricity?

 

UK is capped at the following

Gas 10.33p per kwh

Electricity 34.04p per kwh.

 

we pay nearly 40 cent kilowatt for electric at the moment ( if i read the bill right) 

we dont have gas, so not sure about that.

coal is €40 a bag!!! and that is for the compressesed nugget type as apparently you cant get proper house coal anymore,

The USA are bonkers though. I saw something the other day showing people putting underfloor heating loops into the driveway concrete. How much energy goes into those to melt all the snow landing on it?

Not that much per m2

Hmm not huge per sq m but lots of area. 

 

Spec says 170-270w per sq m, call it 200 to make sums easy. My drive is about 5m wide and 10m long, so that's 10kW. Not cheap to run.
