Are those Carbon badges correct?
Since the revamp my carbon per person keeps changing. Today I experimented and increased the house occupants from 2 to 4 and the carbon badge per person rating went from C to E - surely it should be the other way around e.g. C to A?
It looks like you're taking the household carbon as the per person carbon and multiplying up rather than dividing down. Obviously we might be wrong. It's difficult to check ourselves but I base this on the graph. It doesn't change when you change number of occupants so the graph must be household carbon consumption. You then state this same figure as per person on the same page.

Inappropriate?Imeasure attempts to create a model of your house over time. When the reading is stored, we also store the current level of occupancy. If your occupancy changes this affects future readings and consequent carbon per person reading.
I assume you are comparing your results with the same number of occupants. Therefore, as the badge is a reflection of the output for one week in the past you would be comparing the results for a 2 person household, with those for a 4 person household as your changes would not yet have taken effect (but your comparison would). 4 person households usually do rather better in carbon per person and so it's not surprising that your rating went down, not up.
The graph is, as its title suggests, the household output.
Having said all that, a lot of this code is new and it's not inconceivable that there may be some issues. I will investigate individual cases if you just send your username to support(at)imeasure.org.uk
