ABSTRACT
Electric cookers and kettles are often the highest electricity consumers amongst household appliances. Cooking requires several interactions with these appliances, and furthermore people's behaviours play an important role in the energy consumption. This research is seeking to understand people's behaviours whilst cooking and also identify the determinants of these behaviours. Energy monitoring, video recording and semi-structured questionnaires were used to gather this information. This knowledge will inform the development of an intervention aiming at reducing energy expenditure.
