This section requires you to write a report as a way of answering questions. Please consider the following scenario based on your ID. N is the last digit of your ID.A house has the following characteristics: The number of bedrooms = ID ending with 0-3, 1 bedrooms; ID ending with 4-6, 2 bedrooms; ID ending with 7-9, 3 bedrooms. No of people = (1 + whole number of (N/2)) (both husband and wife are working from 9 AM to 4 PM and each travels separately by car on average N*5 km; kids walk to school between 9 AM and 3 PM but all reaches home at around 5 PM). For other uses, car travels N*11 km per week on average. Car uses the petrol at 8 + N*0.4 Km/L. The average cost for petrol is $1.2/L Cook top and hot water uses LPG gas. Energy obtained from gas use is around 90+N*5 MJ/day and the gas utility bills every three months as follows: First 0-1885 MJ 4.05 c/MJ Next 1886-3740 M 2.76 c/MJ >3741 MJ 2.66 c/M Supply charge 67 c/day Find the appropriate pricing of electricity charges from your internet research, and list as part of the report. Mark counted with other parts. Every person on an average uses 4 hr of lighting in the house. Assume all the lights are incandescent (70 W) for odd N values; and 50% incandescent (70 W) + 50% of tube bulb (40 W) for even N values. Assume the house has some insulation (can tolerate 22+3 .C, has single-layered glass window ) for N values 0-4; and good insulation (can tolerate 22=N*0.5 .C has single layered glass window ) for N values 5-9. Air conditioner (A/C) runs when temperature is above or below the tolerable temperature. Use typical monthly temperature as shown in Figure 1. A/C only works when all the people are in the home, i.e from 6 PM to 12 AM on weekdays and anytime between 6 AM and 12 AM during weekends depending on the temperature. Assume monthly average high temperature (Tmax, average) +(15+N*2)% of Tmax,average is valid for day time temperature for the month and 12*(monthly average high + monthly average low ) is valid between 6 PM and 12 AM. A/C consumes 2500 +200*N W when it runs. Chose appropriate approximations and calculation procedure as needed
