Yes sorry, it is Average per sq foot.

sometimes peoples houses are listed to BC hydro as 1000sqft when in reality they are 4000sq ft. and they get raided

I think that proportion of power bill is a good measure. if your op is half your total consumption its becoming a big deal for you.

(itâ??s always been pretty obvious they did it this way. Itâ??s the only practical way they could use power consumption)
