Survey of the Energy Consumption of Private Households for the Year 2005
The central objective of this research project is to survey the energy consumption of private households (including the mileage in individual transport) as a function of purposes and to interpolate the energy consumption for the year 2004. In view of the very complex subject matter, an innovative survey tool is used which minimizes the survey effort for the respondents. In doing so, it is possible to draw on the experience already gained by the RWI/forsa consortium in the previous study. Another focus is on the use of renewable energies in private households. A total sample of around 90,000 households is surveyed and extrapolated to the population of "private households in the Federal Republic of Germany".
