If you build your house better, you won't need very much energy at all to heat or cool it. The passive house standard used in Sweden calls for a maximum of 20 kWh/(m²yr), which translates to ~3,700 kWh per year for a 2,000 ft² home.


Here in asia we use 1.5KWh approx per year. It is a real thing

I meant KWH(units) its a typo And the country is India
