Hi guys, I'm currently carrying out an investigation into Energy Performance Certificates at uni and i'm trying to get some public feedback and awareness stats on the certificate.

If you could follow the link below and complete the 10 questions, that would be really great! It won't take you any longer than 2 mins.

The LINK


Again a big thank you to all those that take the time to do this, i'm sure a lot of you know how hard it is to get folk to fill these things in!

Cheers!

oh, one of your answers was 'here' something or other, 99% convinced it should be 'there' something or other.

Its part of the HIPs that every home now has to produce when marketing their property, a lot say it is a waste of time, others say its the only way to battle climate change on an individual level!

The tories want to scrap the HIPs and have only an EPC.

thanks mike, a couple of typos have been corrected


mads - 12/3/10 at 03:33 PM

done - but same as Mike, I didnt know the answers to quite a few of the Qs.


iscmatt - 12/3/10 at 03:41 PM

absolutly no problem if you know the answers or not!

Done

I made it up as I went along, I think the HIPS thing is a con like all the ISO90001 bullpoop. If someone wants a property they are prepared to alter it to suit them after they buy it.


Hellfire - 12/3/10 at 04:19 PM

Done.


Humbug - 12/3/10 at 04:48 PM

Done, but I think if you are trying to assess awareness, pretty much everything should have a "Don't know" option.

Some ambiguous wording, e.g. "How much should an EPC cost?" = what do I think the price is? or what do I think it ought to cost?

The last question option 2 seems a bit odd to me "Yes – only those that are cheap and affordable to amend". Do you mean "amend" or should it be something like "implement"?

done

if you need to ask anything i have been doing them since october 2008 just ask

I did the EPC course about a year ago with my employer.
Having said that, after five days spent on the course, I haven't done a single survey since.

I'm still waiting for my first room in the roof.
