2012 Commercial Buildings Energy
Consumption Survey (CBECS)
Building Questionnaire – Form EIA-871A
HOW TO USE THIS QUESTIONNAIRE
The 2012 Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) will be conducted using a computer-assisted interview programmed using a software called Blaise. A professional interviewer will administer the questionnaire to the building respondent using a laptop computer. The purpose of this paper representation of the questionnaire is to document the question text, fills, and skip patterns within the 2012 CBECS questionnaire.
PLEASE NOTE: All the question fills and skip patterns were handled automatically by the software and will be transparent to the interviewer, so this document appears much more complex that the actual CBECS instrument.
Each question is formatted as follows:
A1 |
Question name SASVAR |
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 for a particular building.
There is one variable that is preloaded into each case and used for routing in some questions:
Freestanding – a building that is not attached on any sides
The FILL line describes any question fills and the conditions under which each appears. If the fill appears as something such as “A6 [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 ().

{ActivityExplanation}
A data center or server farm is a group of networked computer servers that are housed in one location, usually a secure area, and perform no other tasks besides server tasks such as data storage and processing.
There are usually many servers stacked in rows of racks, which operate continuously, day and night. Data centers are generally kept very cool and require a dedicated uninterruptible power supply.

Does the air source heat pump have electric resistance backup, is it a dual fuel heat pump with {NatGasBotGas} backup, or is there no backup source for the heat pump?
DEF: [Air source heat pumps do not operate efficiently when outside temperatures are sub-freezing for extended periods of time. An air source heat pump may use electric resistance coils to provide supplemental heat. Other air source heat pumps may use a natural gas or bottled gas furnace that operates at colder temperatures (these are also known as duel fuel heat pumps)]

DEF: [Autoclaves are similar to sterilizers except that they use ethylene oxide as the sterilizing medium and a stream of pressurized water at high temperatures to draw off spent ethylene oxide. Like steam sterilizers, some autoclaves also use a continuous stream of water to create a vacuum to speed the drying process.]
