Energy Utilization Report
Jonathan Martin Reporting
Monitoring of the current sent from the batteries to the habitat by the inverter continued today. I have been noting the effect of various pieces of equipment on electricity usage, but the formalized documentation has not commenced at this time.
Tonight I will be taking lighting readings in the upper floor of the habitat and measuring the effect of cleaning the light covers. Preliminary readings showed that lighting levels are extremely low, however, the covers are also very dirty. Lighting levels can depreciate by 30% between lamp replacements. If the covers weren't cleaned during the last replacement, this could even be higher.
