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)
