PURPOSE. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) would like to inform each individual that the information requested here is being solicited under the statutory authority of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended, which authorizes DOE to administer the State Energy Program (SEP). This information is being sought as part of a national evaluation of SEP, the purpose of which is to reliably quantify Program accomplishments and help inform decisions on future operations. The sole use of the information collected will be for an analysis of national-level Program impacts. Disclosure of this information is voluntary and there will be no adverse effects associated with not providing all or any part of the requested information.

We are calling you today to learn about your response to the &SPONSOR’s &PROGRAM. The information we gather will be used by the Department of Energy to understand how the program has worked. The survey should take no more than 60 minutes for you to complete. The responses you provide will be combined with those of many other individuals and will not be linked to you or your &HOMTYPE in any way.

SC1. First, I'd like to ask you a few questions about your &HOMTYPE. Our records show your &HOMTYPE is at &SERV_ADDR in &CITY. Is that correct?

Record a positive % even if they decreased the amount that they installed.

ON_SITE RECRUITING

TO SCHEDULE ONSITE VERIFICATION


As we've discussed, the &Program is an important component of the SEP’s ongoing efforts to save energy and reduce emissions affecting climate change. In order to improve this program's performance, DOE would like to make an accurate measurement of the energy savings associated with energy efficiency equipment installed by collecting and analyzing information from selected locations.


Your input to this research is extremely important. Thank you for your time.


COMMENT. Our verification technician will need to meet with someone over the age of 18 familiar with the equipment installed.
