P004 - VS

P004

Intro

Consumer of electricity

1. Asked questions about electricity info
2. Asked whether the questions were about myself, or the survey will be for them to see how they can make things better

Initial thought was to answer addition questions because I was getting paid

• Answer differently if she had the survey @ home
• Would have to look @ schedule ahead of time
• Better if she knew how many extra questions there were

Recruitment Document

Had a good understanding of the text

• Was skeptical about the questionnaire, not sure why, but would guess to see if she is a representative customer
• Raises questions, would help to see the questionnaire, how personal are the questions? Would it ask for more personal questions or questions about electricity use?
• Don't see a document that guarantees confidentiality, wants something to sign
• Would not participate for concerns of privacy and confidentiality

Questions About You

Hours @ home

• On average?
• Day time waking hours? Or include sleeping?

Questions About Energy Efficiency

Average Household...

1. Anecdotal
2. Don't have frame of reference
3. How representative is my household compared to others? If I stopped to think, it would be hard to gauge and answers would just be an impression--not entirely accurate

Messages...

1. Geopolitical--some schemes have some serious environmental hazards
2. Deeply felt concern, but not an activist
3. Not crazy about personal control
4. About protecting the environment

NEP...

1. Need for cooperation and altruism, ingenuity, and creativity
   1. Because there might be colonization of other planets
   2. Analogy a bit extreme
2. Does not like the idea of dominating nature. We don't know enough right now to actualy dominate without causing adverse reactions
3. Sustainability entails limits, not safe to think that growth as having no limits
4. What she knows about balance from the past, its better to assume that the balance is easily upset

More Questions About Energy Efficiency

Tech adoption + eco purchases ...

1. Have made purchases, but is mainly constrained by budget (changing products and appliances)
2. Have never actually bought appliances before
