1) The purpose of the survey is to obtain detailed statistics on
energy consumption in households in the main areas of use: for
heating, hot water supply, cooking, lighting, which in future will be
submitted to relevant bodies of state administration for developing
regional policy towards improving the energy supply of households ,
energy saving technologies, compensation for costs associated with
the increase in tariffs for the population.

2) Logical connection between questions.
For example:
If the respondent chooses "Central heating“ to question 8 "Which
type of heating is mostly used in this dwelling?", then with high
probability to question 6, "Which type of hot water supply is mostly
used in this residential area?" option "central hot water“ should be
indicated.

3) Description of all fuels used in the household with examples of
their use in residential and non-residential premises and an
average weight of the most commonly used volume units.
For example: Peat briquettes (fuel briquettes) are solid fuel, resulting from briquetting peat. The
average size of the briquette is 150x70x60 mm. Sale to the population is mostly carried
out in the weight units: tons and kilograms. 1 peat briquette weighs about 700 grams or 0.7 kg;
1 bucket of peat briquettes weighs about 9 kg (13 pieces).
Examples of using in a dwelling include furnaces and boilers on solid fuels, fireplaces,
small stoves; in non-residential premises - freestanding stoves for cooking animal feed,
small stoves in garages and sheds (exception - any use of fuel associated with the
respondents’ entrepreneurial activities).

Successful experience:
obtaining detailed data on final energy consumption by households, which can be used by public authorities for the purposes of analysis and management decisions;
practical experience conducting sample surveys that can be
used in organizing energy consumption surveys in other sectors of economy;
study of international experience, new methodological
approaches to assessing the energy consumption of the population which is sure to be reflected in developing a new system of energy efficiency indicators

The challenge is an additional burden on the state statistical bodies and households.
Conducting independent surveys would reduce the burden on households.
