Metadata

The metadata item is used to store information about the profile. For example, which country it relates to or whether it is for an individual.

The "country" profile item value is important as it will determine the electricity factor used for electrical appliances and also the values used for certain forms of transport, e.g. for a particular "size" of car. The country can be said to any of the drill down options in Electricity or Electricityiso. If unset, it defaults to United Kingdom.

The "peopleInHousehold" profile item values determines the default usages in cooking and water heating (UK only). It defaults to 1.

All other item values are for information only at present and the free text ones can be used to hold information in a format of your choice.
