ombudsman a UK body which is responsible for settling disputes between suppliers of goods and services and their customers, and public agencies and their clients. For example, the Insurance Ombudsman handles disputes between insurance companies and policyholders. The scheme is voluntary and not all insurers are members. By contrast, the Building Societies Ombudsman is a statutory scheme and all building societies are members.
These total inefficiencies were 91,400 GWh, i.e. 8.7%, and so the CO2 emissions need to be adjusted by this amount from 0.185 to 0.203 kg / kWh. The average UK annual gas consumption is 16,000 kWh per household [36], but per meter is 18,000 kWh [36] (a larger amount as not every household has a supply of natural gas).
Overall, smaller households use less energy than larger households. Single-person households used on average 69 GJ of energy in 2007 compared to 107 gigajoules for two-person households and 130 GJ for 4-person households (Table 4-1 and Chart 2).atural gas can be used for home heating, water heating, and also to fuel other large appliances such as stoves, clothes dryers and barbecues. Total household natural gas consumption was 587,183 TJ in 2007 (Table 3-1). Households that used natural gas consumed on average 92 GJ of this fuel (Table 3-2).
