Residential energy consumption survey: interim report on study design and pretests. Draft
The survey provides data to describe and monitor the way energy is consumed by households. The DOE needs established for the first survey are for a total sample of 12,500 households and a reinterview sample of 500 households. The integrated efforts include: household interviews to collect data on space-conditioning equipment, water heater, appliance checks, household vehicle stock and usage, selected physical characteristics of the housing unit, and household composition and socio-economic characteristics; utility company survey to obtain accurate information on household consumption of electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and LPG; a household vehicle panel to provide accurate data on mileage driven, fuel consumption, and changes in vehicle stock for a 12-month period; and an energy-assessment procedure to include measurements of the physical charcteristics of the housing unit. Plans are presented for data collection, draft questionnaire, and other data-collection forms and preliminary sample designs. This historical report provides a record of the methodological development to this stage and provides background for additional work to be undertaken. (MCW)
