In the house monitored, electricity is running all day long and the night-time consumption
is related to standby operation of electrical appliances (Figs.11, 12, 13 & 14). The results
show some clear fluctuations in electricity use particularly in the morning times. An adult
of the family is self-employment so that lunch could sometimes be taken at home. Also,
an adult tends to take a day off on Fridays.
