Survey data on households' use of smart home technology and their time of use of electric appliances (eCAPE)

This survey data includes the responsed from a survey questionnaire which was used to collect information on smart home technologies and time of use of electric appliances in Danish households. The survey covers themes like adoption and use ofhousehold appliances, households’ division of everyday chores, timing of everyday activities, and everyday flexibility.

The purpose of this survey is to gather information about Danish households and their everyday practices and flexibility related to electricity use. The intention is to combine questions from the survey with real time data of electricity consumption at household level with a time resolution of few minutes, and to do so for a large representative population. However, the electricity consumption is not allowed to share publicly, and therefore not included in this data upload. 

The survey includes questions of socio-economic factors.

The questionnaire was distributed in Danish but was developed in and translated from English because ofinternational cooperation.

The survey was developed under the project eCAPE - New Energy Consumer Roles and Smart Technologies– Actors, Practices and Equality. The eCAPE project is financed by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the grant agreement number 786643 (https://www.ecape.aau.dk/). The project is led by Professor Kirsten Gram-Hanssen from Department of the Built Environment, Aalborg University. See also  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/373453718_Survey_questionnaire_on_households'_use_of_smart_home_technology_and_their_time_of_use_of_electric_appliances
