Individual Energy Audit and Investigation Report There are two sections to this report:

Section A: Undertake an energy audit of your home. Present an analysis (including

supporting data) of your energy bills and energy losses. Utilise appropriate diagrams

needs.

Your tasks: 1. There is no need to measure any quantity. Make best estimate of the energy

consuming equipment in your home. For example, for an electric heater, use

the wattage as written on the heater. Make reasonable estimations of the

usage and undertake the audit. You can compare your findings with your
