Survey results
More than two hundred people filled out our questionnaire about sustainability issues related to the building sector. The survey was designed to measure our target groups' - the general public's preferences and general knowledge about this topic.
In Hungary we collected around 200 replies, almost double the number as it was initially planned. Moreover, many replies include written feedback and valuable opinion and thus the survey can be considered successful.
Statistically, older generations are slightly and the educated are strongly overrepresented (with 14% of the responders having a PhD). 90% of the responders has experience with building/renovation, 50% of them in the last 5 years which means we successfully reached the target audience with the survey.
The results of the survey confirm the importance of our project. 80% of the responders considered themselves very environmental conscious. Around half of the respondents experienced difficulties when tried to know more about products' environmental performance and 55% would like to see detailed information about it while for 30% of the responders, a simplified (e.g. label-like) information would be enough.
90% thinks a webapp and manual would be useful, proving that there is demand for our concept.
On the other hand, a detailed correlation analysis shows that education correlates with the need for more detailed indicators. Since undereducated people are underrepresented in the survey, too detailed presentation of information should be avoided.
