A gigajoule is a unit of energy, and it is what your gas is metered and billed in. There is no honest way to convert a house size into gigajoules — how a house is built, how warm it is kept and how hard the winter is all move it more than floor area does. Use your own bill.
Enter the gigajoules (GJ) from your last Inuvik Gas bill. For the number that will hurt, use a January or February bill rather than a summer one.
