Interesting findings:

  • It seems that people who live in more moderate climates are less sensitive to fluctuations in HVAC costs
    • The two surveyed who live in San Francisco have not experienced much energy fluctuation.
    • Respondents inland have found that their costs have increased up to 50% in the past couple of years due to excess heat.
  • Two out of nine respondents reported that they recently installed solar to lower their energy bills
  • Those who live on campus (utilities included in rent) or with their parents have less knowledge of how much costs fluctuate
