Do you have questions about how energy systems and utilities work? (Q12a SP->Cu2020)

This question appeared only on the Spring 2020 version of the survey instrument.

This chart reflects answers from Question #12a on the Spring 2020 survey, which asked: “Do you have questions about how energy systems and utilities work?” To facilitate analyses of open-ended responses, the research team subdivided responses into the following categories. Seventy-one people responded to this question, and the numbers next to each category are the number of respondents whose answer was included in the category.

• How do utilities work? (usage and billing): 2

• What are my options (in terms of utilities and energy sources)?: 5

• Where does energy come from?:  2

• Does not have questions (off the top of their head): 63

• Probably has questions, just not at the moment: 6 

The data was produced by the Shifting Energy Demands in COVID-19 Survey, which has been administered to 169 people over two time periods. The Spring 2020 survey was administered to 86 people between May and June, and the Winter 2020 survey was administered to 83 people between December 2020 and March 2021. Visit the Shifting Energy Demands in COVID-19 - Spring + Winter 2020 Survey Results page to view more data from our survey. The project is approved by Drexel’s IRB.
