2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey
Household Questionnaire Specifications
v10, last updated 6/5/2020
The 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) will rely on self-administered paper and web instruments. The primary purpose of these specifications is to document the wording of questions and responses seen by respondents, as well as the skip logic that guides respondents through the paper and web instruments. A secondary purpose of these specifications is to document metadata for various RECS project needs – this includes variable names, variable types, response set values, and allowable numeric ranges.
The template for each item in these specifications is as follows: A1 |
VARIABLE1 |
|
ASK |
All respondents |
Question Text
|
|
NEXT |
VARIABLE2 |
MODE |
Comments about implementation in paper and/or web instrument |
WEB PROMPT |
Type of web prompt (HARD/SOFT), condition, and message displayed |
In the example above, the responses to VARIABLE1 would be stored as values of 1 and 0. For questions that require a numeric response, the allowable range is specified in this format: {WEB: ALLOW RANGE 0 – 99; PAPER: TWO DIGITS}. For most numeric items, the allowable ranges for the web and paper instruments are logically consistent.
The following is a list of response set conventions that will generally be used for the 2020 RECS project:
Yes/No questions: 1 for Yes, 0 for No
Select-all-that-apply questions: 1 if selected, 0 if not
Other response: 99
Not Applicable response: -3
Explicit Don’t Know response: -4
Illegible responses (paper only): -5
Multiple responses to single response question (paper only): -6

To keep the survey as short as possible, we would like to access this information on your behalf. Please provide the names of your energy supplier(s) and the account number for each fuel used by your household. Providing your account number ensures we get the correct energy use data. All data collected as part of the Residential Energy Consumption Survey, including energy use data, is used only for statistical purposes and will remain strictly confidential.
