Household details
The REMODECE Questionnaire was programmed into a
Web questionnaire. During 2006-2007,
face-to-face interviews have been made,
especially with families without internet
connection. In November and December 2007
E-ster placed the questionnaire at their Web
site, www.e-ster.be, where answers were
collected. Other sites, such as the website of
the Energy Agency of Flanders (Vlaams Energie
Agentschap), www.energiesparen.be (Particulieren)
and the Flemish Green Light Information Point and
Endorser, GroenLicht Vlaanderen,
www.groenlichtvlaanderen.be , did put links to
this link.

Conclusions

• Switch of modems and router along with switching
  of the computer
• Switch off Home Entertainment equipment with
  external (manual or automatic) on/off switches,
  in order to really switch off these appliances
• Make attention to buying of Energy Star computer
  equipment as very few have knowledge about this
• Use more multiple sockets with a switch to
  disconnect all appliances from the mains
• Try to increase the use energy saving bulbs and
  stop the rapid market transformation from use of
  incandescent to halogen lamps
• Replace old refrigerators (especially those with
  freezing cabinet) and freezers by A or A
  appliances
