Energy Consumption and Efficiency Survey: Indian Residential Sector

This assignment presents a detailed survey designed to assess energy efficiency perceptions and consumption patterns within the residential sector of India. The survey is structured into several key sections, including general information about the dwelling (type, location, size, construction materials, and insulation), demographic details of the residents (gender, age, marital status, qualification, and income), and detailed inquiries into energy consumption for heating and cooling purposes. The heating section explores various methods (stoves, heaters, central systems, split systems), fuel types used (electricity, LPG, wood, coal), and the age of heating appliances. The cooling section investigates the use of air conditioners, coolers, and ducting, along with their usage hours and the area covered. Further sections address hot water generation methods, the electronic gadgets used in the household, and the required total energy consumption and costs on a yearly basis. The survey concludes with a section for comments, allowing respondents to provide additional insights. This comprehensive approach aims to gather data on energy usage, efficiency, and the factors influencing energy consumption in Indian homes.
