DOEID '4-digit identification number' Columns 1-4 Included in all files Numerical Variable Variable length: 4 The variable DOEID will be on all files. Each respondent is assigned an unique value of DOEID. It can be used to merge data from one file with data from another file. Minimum Value: 1,001 Maximum Value: 5,852 NWEIGHT 'The Final Weight' Columns 6-11 Included in all files Numerical Variable Variable length: 6 Minimum Value: 5,594 Maximum Value: 105,485 The sample design for RECS is not a simple random sample. Consequently, to estimate the number or percent of households/housing units with a certain characteristic, the sampling weight should be used. The variable NWEIGHT is the sampling weight for the observation. It is approximately the inverse of the probability of selection. It gives the number of households that the response represents in the sample. For most categorical variables, the codebooks contain both the unweighted frequency and the weighted frequency. The unweighted frequency gives the number of observations, the weighted frequency gives survey estimate of the number of households/housing units for each possible value of the variable. The weighted frequencies are rounded to the nearest 100,000 households. This is the limit of the accuracy for RECS. When the unweighted frequency is less than 10 or the weighted frequency is less than 150,000; then weighted frequency is suppressed. A 'Q' is placed in the frequency to denote that the number is suppressed. This indicates that there are too few observation upon which to determine an accurate estimate. MQRESULT 'Mail Questionnaire Codes' Columns 13 Included in all files Categorical Variable Variable length 1 Mail Questionnaire (MQ) Authorization Form (AF) Personal Interview (PI) 1 = MQ Completed, AF Signed 2 = MQ Completed, AF not required 3 = MQ Completed, AF Not Signed 7 = MQ returned after a PI was completed 8 = PI was completed after MQ was returned 9 = Not Applicable Number Weighted Of Number of Value Observations Households 1 166 3,900,000 2 1 Q 3 76 1,700,000 7 42 1,000,000 8 24 600,000 9 4,513 99,800,000 Q = Data withheld because fewer than 10 observation in the category. When MQRESULT equals 1 2, or 3, the household and housing unit data was not obtained via a personal interview. The data were obtained using a shortened mail questionnaire. A hot-deck imputation procedure was used to match each mail respondent to a personal interview respondent. The critical matching variables were FUELHEAT, FUELH2O, TYPECOOL, TYPEHUQ, and REGIONC. Additional variables used in a scoring function to determine the best match were MONEYPY, NHSLDMEM, VEHICLES, HHAGE, and TOTROOMS. The remaining household/housing unit characteristics for the mail respondents were determined by the values of the matched personal interview respondent. The energy consumption and expenditures data for the mail respondents was based upon data obtained from their energy suppliers. It was not imputed using a hot deck procedure. Questionnaire data from personal interview respondents sometime is missing and needs to be imputed. 'Z' variables are used to indicate the presence of imputed data. For example, if ZURBRUR = 0 then URBRUR was not imputed. If ZURBRUR = 1 then URBRUR was imputed. Census Division/Region: A geographic area consisting of several States defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The States are grouped into nine divisions and four regions.

The values of CDD65 and HDD65 were based upon data obtained from the NOAA. A random error was added to both HDD65 and CDD65 to mask the location of the weather station from which the data was obtained. CDD65 'Cooling Degree-Days to base 65, 1-04 TO 12-04' Columns 21-24 Included in all files Numerical Variable Variable length 4 Minimum Value: 0 Maximum Value: 5,161 HDD65 'Heating Degree-Days to base 65, 1-04 TO 12-04' Columns 26-30 Included in all files Numerical Variable Variable length 5 Minimum Value: 0 Maximum Value: 10,045 Cooling degree days are the number of degrees the average daily temperature (ADT) is above the base temperature. Heating degree days are the number of degrees the ADT is below the base temperature. To calculate daily degree days (base 65 degrees): ADT = (daily high + daily low)/2 CDD(daily) = 0 if ADT <= 65 = ADT - 65 if ADT > 65 HDD(daily) = 0 if ADT >= 65 = 65 - ADT if ADT < 65. Annual degrees days are calculated by summing the daily degree days. The .5 is carried over in the summation. The total is rounded up after the summation.

The distinction between a single-family attached unit and a unit in an apartment building is particularly complex.
