Questionnaire Survey on Boilers Adoption in Residential Sector in Korea

Abstract:

An actual condition survey was conducted based on literature review and a questionnaire survey in this study. In a literature review, the overview and characteristics of the Korean boiler market were investigated and the efficiency of the boilers used in Korea was organized. A questionnaire survey was prepared on the basis of these contents. A questionnaire survey was conducted for 2,250 households in Korea. An analysis was made on the basic information such as the family members, income level, residential area and living floor area of survey respondents as well as boiler status such as the possession and use of boilers, a boiler replacement cycle and fuel expenses. Lastly, the implications for the spread of high-efficiency boilers were identified based on the types of boiler possession and the use characteristics of boilers by housing type.
