costing a fortune in energy spending.

I'm curious where the energy waste comes in. The owner says it only takes a 1HP motor to move the building, so I can't imagine its very power hungry. What am I missing?

Horsepower doesn't measure the total energy needed to rotate the house because it doesn't capture the amount of time the motor runs for.
