I'm looking for ideas on how do conduct a full energy audit of my house. The
purpose of this audit is to examine areas where I can reduce consumption,
look at things I do that require a lot of energy (and ways of reducing that
energy demand) with the ultimate aim of then introducing renewable energy
into the mix.

Any ideas on how to do this in a structured, formal, yet scientific way?

This is the sort of thing that gets dealt with on alt.solar.thermal.
Maybe crosspost.

Meanwhile you could start by calculating or measuring heating energy
use, which is a major domestic energy use here.
