    Generally something like 10/15 MJoules. Can go up to ~30MJ on Christmas or other family events.

      I’ve made porridge in the morning, pizza in the afternoon, and also washed some laundry after that. According to a very rough estimate, all of that totals to about 5.5 MJ of energy. In reality, I’ve used a little more than that by using other appliances too, but I think that value is in the correct ballpark.

      Today I didn’t drive anywhere, so the chemical energy contained in gasoline wasn’t included. Also, haven’t taken a shower yet (it’s cold in here). Heating the water and the rest of the building uses district heating, but I have no idea how much energy that is per day.
