-=d=- said:It's speculation because it's your opinion without research. My current house - 2012 sq ft consumes less energy than my last house, which was 1120sq ft. Lots of factors come into play here...
How one uses the space - for instance, I spent more time in a 300sq ft room of my new house, than I did in 800sq ft in my previous house, I'd use less heat, less electricity now than before.
Basing consumption of energy on square-footage alone is jumping to huge conclusions w/o specific data.
Yes...but all things equal you will spend more money on a larger house....if we are talking about a 20 thousand square foot house owned by a celebrity it's going to be consuming massive amounts of energy. You can have cheaper bills in larger places if you are more conservative with how you use your electricity and how well your house is insulated but all things equal the bigger house will consume more. That's just simple logic.
I could just as easily apply your logic to SUVs and more fuel efficient cars. If I made it a priority to live 3 miles from work and drive a Hummer and you live 25 miles from work and drive a Honda Accord then you would be the one spending more on energy. But all things equal the honda accord is more efficient.
