The Think Energy Home Survey
An organisation called the Energy Savings Trust (EST) did a survey to find out why we use so much energy in our homes. They discovered that most people don’t realise that using more energy than we need can be harmful to our environment. They also don’t know how to save energy.
Try your own survey at home to find out how energy efficient you and your family really are. Once you have done the survey, you can call a family meeting and give your family some simple ideas for how they can improve!
What to do
- Download the questionnaire and print it out. Take the questionnaire home and fill it in.
- Once you have completed the survey, invite each member of your family to a meeting to discuss things they could do to save energy. Download Top Tips for saving energy, and discuss them at your family meeting. Click here to email an invitation to each family member, or just arrange a time when you can all be together for an hour.
If you enjoy doing surveys, you can also complete an energy-efficiency survey on the British Gas house.co.uk website.
