Formula to calculate electricity or gas consumption of water heating

A simple formula to estimate the energy required to heat a volume of water is :
E = C*V*DeltaT/PR
Where E = energy in kWh
C = Specific heat of water - 4.187 kJ/kgK, or 1,163 Wh/kg°C
V = volume of water to heat
deltaT = Th-Tc
Th = temperature of hot water
Tc = temperature of input cold water
PR = performance ratio (it includes losses of heat through pipes and tank), default value = 0.9
