Energy Awareness Questionnaire

This should take no more that 5 minutes of your time and your responses will help us to improve our energy efficiency by giving us understand what sort of energy information you need.

Attitude
What is your general attitude towards energy saving?
Very positive I actively save energy and believe I can make a difference Aware and positive, but it is not part of my current work day culture 71.1% 15.8%

Partly energy aware; I take some action and occasionally pass on information to my colleagues 7.7% Neutral, I may occasionally try to save energy Generally indifferent towards energy saving 2.6%

Environmental Impact How aware are you of the environmental impact of energy use?
I am very aware and often do my own research into energy saving/efficiency Mostly aware of the environmental impact through the usual media exposure I am aware of some of the environmental issues I am aware of the current debate, but am not yet convinced I am not aware of the environmental impact 20.52% 69.2% 2.6% 2.6% 2.6%

How much energy do you use at work?

I am a high energy user due to the type of equipment I use and/or the length of time I have equipment running for. 20.5% I am a moderate energy user I use office equipment plus some specialist equipment 61.5% I am a low energy user I use very little electrical equipment 7.9% I don't know my level of energy use, as have no idea how much energy is consumed by the equipment I use. 5.3%

Cost and Waste

What is your level of awareness of energy costs and where energy is wasted?
I am aware of the energy costs, and aware of where it is mostly wasted 35.9%

I am aware of the costs, but not aware of where it is wasted I am not aware of the costs, but I am aware of where it is wasted I do not know what the energy costs are, nor where it is wasted

18.4% 33.33% 7.9%

Energy Saving
How aware are you of ways in which you can save energy?
I am conversant with many ways of saving energy I am aware of 5 or 6 ways in which to save energy I am aware of some basic energy saving measures I am not aware of any energy saving measures 18.0% 39.5% 39.5% 0%

Where do you put your knowledge into action?

I routinely try to save energy both at home and at work I focus my efforts on saving energy at home I focus my efforts on saving energy at work I am generally indifferent towards energy saving 74.4% 15.8% 2.6% 0.0%

Motivation
How motivated are you to save energy?
I am motivated and try to influence others I am motivated and do what I can to save energy I feel motivated but enthusiasm is lost due to general apathy I am not motivated to save energy 30.8% 62.2% 5.1% 0%

Ideas for energy saving

Can you help to further increase the energy efficiency of the Biology department? (please tick all that apply)
Yes, I have some ideas for energy saving, please contact me to discuss them 12.8% Yes, I am willing to do more to save energy but need more information as to how I can help 69.2%
