摘要

This report presents the technical documentation for the 1980 Residential Energy Consumption Survey Public Use Tape. The Residential Energy Consumption Surveys have been designed by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to provide information concerning energy consumption within the residential sector. Information concerning the housing unit is collected through personal interviews with adult residents of a representative national sample of households. Data concerning actual energy consumption (excluding transportation fuel) are obtained from fuel records maintained by the households' fuel suppliers. Results of these surveys have been reported by the Office of Energy Markets and End Use in a series of publications. A list of these reports is provided at the end of this document.
