OSTI ID:5797896

Four sets of tables are presented describing the households and the housing units selected to be in the National Interim Energy Consumption Survey (NIECS). The first set (Tables 1-3) presents statistics concerned with general structural features of the housing unit including: type, size, age, and value of the structure. Tables 4 and 5 show household inventories of major appliances; displayed are statistics on the number, type, and features of appliances used by the households. The third set of tables (6-13) deals with household-heating equipment and the distribution of fuels used for space heating, water heating, and cooking. Table 14 gives some general demographic information on the NIECS households. The sample base used for the report is 3843. This figure includes all occupied residential housing units sampled in the NIECS during the winter of 1978 to 1979. A series of weights was applied to the sample units to allow estimates to be made of the entire population. After weighting, the estimated population was equal to 76.6 million housing units.
