Technical Report · Fri Feb 01 04:00:00 EST 1980

OSTI ID:5486925

Data are provided on general structural features of residential housing units; major appliances used by the household; heating equipment and fuels used for space heating, water heating and cooking; and demographic information about the households. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) compiled the data from the National Interim Energy Consumption Survey (NIECS). The data are presented in two ways: in weighted counts of housing units rounded to the nearest thousand and in weighted column percentages. The sample base for the report is 4081 respondents, a figure which includes all occupied residential housing units sampled in the NIECS during the winter of 1978 to 1979. This is the final version of a report first compiled by EIA in December 1979; further, this report supersedes that preliminary report. The appendices include information on how the survey was conducted, a weather zone map, a copy of the household questionnaire, a generalized sampling of errors, and a glossary. 32 tables.
