Abstract:
|
The National Academy of Sciences' Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) has concluded a 30-month study of the Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) and the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS). The Committee has considered "how to improve data quality, geographic coverage, timeliness of data releases, and relevance of the data for meeting user needs for energy end use information" in this decade and beyond. The RECS and CBECS currently rely on complex multiple-frame area probability sample designs, in-person Blaise-CAPI enumerations of building or housing unit energy and occupant characteristics, and follow-on multi-mode surveys with energy companies to collect consumption and expenditures for sampled units. The panel discusses topics of growing relevance to a JSM audience, including survey design, frequency, and scope alternatives, as well as survey practice and operations. This session brings broad perspectives and deep insights to survey methodology for complex topics such as energy, applicable to any program that must optimize multiple designs, frames, modes and tools in an increasingly challenging operational and budget framework.
