Some scales of attitudes were taken from Seligman, D. et al, 'Predicting summer energy consumption from home owners attitudes', Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 9, 1979, pp. 70-90. Some questions on structure and fabric of the houses were derived from Open University and Building Research Establishment, Check your energy : personal home survey, 1983.

Cross-sectional (one-time) studyLongitudinal/panel/cohortThe replacement sample survey was conducted as a one-time cross-sectional study. The intensive sample (four waves) and extensive sample (two waves) surveys were conducted as panel studies. Households were selected by means of a stratified multi-stage cluster procedure.
