Abstract

This report presents the results of a survey of 251 households in England that was undertaken to

monitor the electrical power demand and energy consumption over the period May 2010 to July 2011. The project was funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the Energy Saving Trust. Participating households were selected by Ipsos MORI on the basis of the life-stage of the occupants. Of the 251 households surveyed, 26 were monitored for a period of one calendar year and the rest were monitored for periods of one month at intervals throughout the year. The dwellings were also given an Energy Performance Certificate survey and the occupants were requested to complete survey questions about their environmental attitudes. During the course of the survey period, the occupants also completed diaries of use for some of the products they used. The data were checked and analysed by Enertech and all the project data were compiled into a database. The

project was managed by Intertek.
