Ipsos’s i:omnibus was commissioned by the Energy Saving Trust to conduct a survey on public perception and understanding of various aspects relating to energy saving, government energy schemes and household appliances.

Specifically, the study asked questions around respondent behaviour and usage of household items, awareness of the government’s Feed-in-Tarriff, the renewable heat tariff and if the household had any draught, mould, condensation or damp problems.

The research has been used for Energy Saving Trust’s public opinion tracker known as the UK Pulse.
