From the results and deliberations in sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2. above, is evident that the<br />

average daily usage of hot water heated by electricity up to the boiling point could be<br />

summarised as follows:<br />

Volume of hot water in litres……………………………………………………………..17.49 l<br />

Electrical energy usage to boil this volume of water……………………………1.81 kWh<br />
