I have 3 - 3 ton AC units.
I averaged 2300 kWh/month (during the pre solar days. )
My first home, 10x50 single wide would use 500 kWh per month. Electric heat.
So roughly 1 kWh per square foot.
US DOE estimates commercial buildings run 22 kWh per square foot.
Alberta Canada, 1800 square foot home averages 4.61 kWh per square foot.
My current home and garage are pretty large.
I averaged 170 watt hours per square foot pre solar.

We live near the coast. We don't need, or even have air conditioning.

Wow. That's a lot of power from my perspective. We use less than 700 KWh
per month. We live in the country, so we have to pump our water (big well
pump and a pressure pump); so that is a big influence on our power usage.
I have a hard time imagining how you might use 5X what we use.
I'm already at 1.22 MWh of consumption halfway through the month. I like
air conditioning.
