In an attempt to help foster the adoption of residential green features, I’m doing my PhD study on homeowners’ opinions of such features. I’d like your help by participating in a quick survey.
Below is the description of the study and at the bottom you’ll find the survey link. Thank you so much!
Housing and the Environment
Informed consent: The purpose of the study is to find out what are the most common residential green features. You qualify to answer the survey if you: a) own a residence (house, coop apartment, duplex, condo, mobile home, town house); AND b) have added at least one environmentally-friendly/green feature to it. Examples of green features are: fluorescent light bulbs, non-toxic paint, repurposed furniture, high efficiency heating and cooling, low flow faucets and shower heads, and double/triple insulated windows.
It is quick and will take approximately 6 minutes of your time. You will be asked to indicate which green features you have added to your home. There are also a few demographics questions and questions about your overall opinion of environmental issues and homes in general. Your participation is anonymous.
Participating in this study does not present any risks beyond those experienced in everyday life. The data will be stored and secured at the University of Missouri, Columbia, in a locked room.
Your decision to participate is voluntary. You can stop at any time. You do not have to answer questions you do not wish to answer. Refusal to take part in or withdrawing from this study will incur no penalties. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the researcher atmmtzd@mail.missouri.edu.
You must be 18 years of age or older to consent to participate in this study.
If you agree to participate in the study, please open the Qualtrics link below
