Approximate the fuel cost over the heating season, based on current energy costs. (It will be necessary for you to contact local suppliers to get local costs.) A building has a heat loss of 100 MJ/hr at design conditions at the geographical location where you reside. Calculate fuel consumed over the heating season at the geographical location where you reside. Base your analysis on the following fuels and efficiencies:
a. Natural gas (80% efficiency)
b. Natural gas (92% efficiency)
c. Liquid petroleum gas/propane (80% efficiency)
d. Fuel oil number 2 (78% efficiency)
e. Electricity, resistance heating (100% efficiency)
f. Wood (pine) (50% efficiency)
g. Coal (60% efficiency)
