Interviewer instructions
Question H-28 -- Energy/fuel

"What type of energy/fuel does this household MAINLY use for cooking, heating and for lighting?"

There are three boxes to be filled in for this question. Note that certain fuels cannot be used for certain purposes.

If e.g. electricity is used for cooking, heating and lighting, write "1" in each box.

If e.g. the household mainly uses wood for cooking, coal for heating and candles for lighting, write "4", "5" and "6" in the respective boxes.

If the electricity is not from a service provider but from a private source, e.g. a small private generator or solar panel, write code 9 and specify.

When you specify the energy used, do not write in the box; instead write on the dotted line.
