4.22 Household characteristics

HH - 1: What is the main source of energy used for lighting, cooking and heating?

Ask for the main source of energy used by the household for lighting, cooking and heating we are interested in. Since availability of energy for lighting is what is to be determined, even if a housing unit has the necessary wiring but is not connected to the electric supply system, the household will not be considered to be using electricity. Note that "heating" in this case does not refer to heating/warming food or water but to heat a room. Shade appropriately.

Gas: This is gas that is used as a fuel source such as natural gas, propane, butane or other flammable gases.

b) Biofuel: is any fuel that is derived from plants and plant derived materials e.g. Jathropa.

c) Solar: is energy from the heat or light from the sun which can be used to produce heat, light and electricity.

Note that the following should not be sources of energy for:
1. Lighting

Cow dung, charcoal

2. Cooking

Candle,

3. Heating
