A method for measuring gas consumption by means of a gas meter (1), in particular for measuring a meterable gas energy supply in the private, public or industrial sectors, is disclosed. Sensor signals (S), which are proportional to a flow rate, are determined by the gas meter (1) by means of a thermal flow sensor (1a), and the sensor signals (S) are output as energy value signals (SE)on the basis of a calibration of the gas meter (1) as energy meter (1), wherein a) gas type is determined by the gas meter (1), where a non-combustible gas mixture (3) is differentiated from a combustible gas mixture, and b) the gas meter (1), in the presence of a non-combustible gas mixture (3), is operated with a calibration in mass or standard volume units (l/min) and, in the presence of a combustible gas mixture (3), with a calibration in energy units (kWh).
