OSTI ID:6131109

The methodology for the National Interim Energy Consumption Survey (NIECS), an integrated set of data collections, data files, and analyses which bring together surveys of households and of utility companies and fuel dealers who serve them, is presented in six separate parts. Surveys of rental agents provide supplemental information and a transportation panel provides information on miles traveled and fuel consumption of household vehicles. A total of 4081 questionnaires were completed, including 3842 personal face-to-face interviews and 239 mailed questionnaires. Information on sampling and estimating procedures, conducting the household and utility company data collection, data preparation and editing, and imputations and adjustments for missing data is presented in part I. Specific information was asked on end uses of fuels consumed by the households, energy conservation activities, household vehicles, and characteristics of the housing unit and its residents. A chronology and guide to the report are given in Part I. (MCW)
