Questionnaire for Smart Energy Efficiency System in UAE Society

This document presents a detailed questionnaire designed to gather insights on Smart Energy Efficiency Systems, focusing on the context of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The questionnaire is structured into five key parts: General Information, Ecological Footprint, Environmental Impact, Energy Use (Consumption and Conservation), and Innovative Systems. The General Information section collects demographic data such as sex, education, age, family size, occupation, income, and preferred energy systems. The subsequent sections employ a Likert scale to gauge participant opinions on various statements related to economic growth, environmental impact of oil reserves and agriculture, energy consumption patterns, conservation policies, and the potential of innovative energy technologies. The aim is to understand public perceptions and attitudes towards energy efficiency, sustainability, and the adoption of smart energy solutions in the UAE, addressing challenges related to environmental degradation and the rising demand for energy within the society.

Questionnaire
Dear Participant,
This Questionnaire will give you the
opportunity to express your view on Smart
Energy Efficiency System that is
implemented to deal with the challenges of
environmental degradation. The research is
aimed to help the UAE society to meet the
rising demand of the energy needs in their
society.
The questionnaire will be used only for the
purpose of the study and is highly
confidential. We assure you that no
information shared with us will not be
leaked.
The questionnaire compares five parts:
1. General information
2. Ecological Footprint
3. Environmental Impact
4. Energy Use
(Consumption and Conservation)
5. Innovative Systems
Thank you for your time and effort.
