1. Building description: location, orientation, floor area, etc
2. Identify the power/fuel source for the electrical system. (This may require a bit of detective/research work)
3. Determine if there is an incoming main electrical line, where the electric meter for the house/building is located, and where the distribution of power to the house/building occurs (circuit box/fuse box).
4. Identify the total number of outlets in the house/building, room by room.
