For those who may be unfamiliar with the nature and principal features of the Residential Energy Consumption Survey, this Data Quality presents some background information. There is a general overview of RECS, its objectives, and the timing of the periodic surveys. Another section describes the design and methodology of the 1993 RECS. The final section identifies significant changes as the survey design and procedures evolved from the initial survey (known as NIECS, the National Interim Energy Consumption Survey) in 1978 through the 1993 RECS.
