11. Suppose your neighbor has a baseboard heating system powered by hydroelectricity, a 2000 square foot home, and 5 people live there. They normally keep the indoor air temperature at 18\deg C. But times are tough and they plan to grow indoor crops in their home to increase their income. Their internet resources indicate they must keep the indoor temperature at an uncomfortable, but tolerable, 25\deg C. Your neighbors want to hire you as a consultant to estimate how much more energy each year they will consume (i.e. how much increase in the annual kWh on their BC Hydro electric bill). What is your estimate rounded to the nearest 100 kWh?
a.10,400 kWh
b.11,200 kWh
c.12,800 kWh
d.21,600 kWh
