Critical Commentary
This chart reflects responses to Question #22 from the Spring 2020 and Winter 2020 surveys, which asked, “Has anyone in your household ever experienced health issues related to temperature in the home (heat exhaustion, respiratory illness, etc.)?” This was a check-all-that-apply question, and there were 166 cumulative responses. The options for the question were as follows:
Yes
No
I don’t know
The most common response was “no”, with 142 individuals selecting this option, followed by “yes”, with 24 individuals selecting this option. One individual chose “I don’t know”, and one response was classified as “other” because they discussed a previous roommate who had health issues that were exacerbated by temperature in the home. It’s important to note that one respondent selected “yes” and “no” in their response, and both options were counted.
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.
