2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey

Household Questionnaire Specifications

v10, last updated 6/5/2020

The 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) will rely on self-administered paper and web instruments. The primary purpose of these specifications is to document the wording of questions and responses seen by respondents, as well as the skip logic that guides respondents through the paper and web instruments. A secondary purpose of these specifications is to document metadata for various RECS project needs – this includes variable names, variable types, response set values, and allowable numeric ranges.

The template for each item in these specifications is as follows: A1

VARIABLE1
ASK	All respondents
Question Text Yes No
NEXT	VARIABLE2
MODE	Comments about implementation in paper and/or web instrument
WEB PROMPT	Type of web prompt (HARD/SOFT), condition, and message displayed

In the example above, the responses to VARIABLE1 would be stored as values of 1 and 0. For questions that require a numeric response, the allowable range is specified in this format: {WEB: ALLOW RANGE 0 – 99; PAPER: TWO DIGITS}. For most numeric items, the allowable ranges for the web and paper instruments are logically consistent.

The following is a list of response set conventions that will generally be used for the 2020 RECS project:

Yes/No questions: 1 for Yes, 0 for No
Select-all-that-apply questions: 1 if selected, 0 if not
Other response: 99
Not Applicable response: -3
Explicit Don’t Know response: -4
Illegible responses (paper only): -5
Multiple responses to single response question (paper only): -6
