EIA-871J Mall Establishment Questionnaire

2007 Commercial Buildings Energy
Consumption Survey (CBECS)

Mall Establishment Questionnaire - Form EIA-871J
HOW TO USE THIS QUESTIONNAIRE
The purpose of this questionnaire is to document the question text, fills, and skip patterns within the 2007
CBECS questionnaire, which is a computer-assisted personal interview programmed using a software called
Blaise.
PLEASE NOTE: All fills and skip patterns will be transparent to the interviewer.
Each question is formatted as follows:

A1

Question name

SASVAR9

ASK
FILL
Question text
RANGE
NEXT

The black box (A1 here) contains a question number, followed by the Question name and the SAS variable (if
applicable) in the same row. If the SAS variable area says “see below,” the variables are found within the
Question text box.
The ASK line describes what needs to be true for a question to be asked. The first line of each ASK box
describes the type of structures that are asked the question. There are 4 different possible structure types (and
this information is preloaded into each case):
In the ASK box, at least one of the statements must be true.
There are two variables that are preloaded into each case and used for routing in some questions:
Freestanding – a building that is not attached on any sides
Enclosed mall – the building is an enclosed mall building
The FILL line describes any question fills and the conditions under which each appears. If the fill appears as
something such as “A1 [Square footage]” this means that the figure given in question A1 will be filled in.
The Question text box shows the question text, and any other elements for each question, such as Show Card
indicators or instructions, and the answer choices for each question.
The RANGE line is only applicable to numeric questions. It shows the range of answers that will be accepted by
Blaise.
The NEXT line details the routing for the next question. Follow these instructions in order. Once a true statement
is reached, go to the question indicated by the arrow (Ä).

Throughout the rest of this questionnaire, there will be references such as “Electricity used” or “Natural gas
used.” In addition to the energy sources that were given in D8 [Energy sources used], if sources are added
along the way, such as in D22 [Other source for main heating] OR D25 [Other source for heating], those
sources are then also considered to be used.
