1Survey Overview
Sample/Methodology
■ Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) was used to interview a
representative sample of 400 Bermuda residents aged 18+. The survey was
conducted in February 2010 and lasted approximately 25 minutes.
Weighting
■ The total sample was weighted to be representative of Bermuda’s population on
the following factors – gender, age, parish, nationality and race.
Margin of Error
■ The margin of error for the study is +/- 5% at the 95% confidence level.
Analysis Notes
■ Some chart percentages may add to more than 100% due to multiple mentions
(i.e. questions in which more than one answer can be selected).
2Key Findings
Key Findings
Household Appliances
■ The most common appliances residents own are refrigerator / freezers (M = 1.3 per
household), microwaves (M = 1.0 per household), washers (M = 1.0 per household) and
dryers (M = .9 per household).
■ Eighty-one percent of residents own air conditioners; with window units (M = 1.0 units per
household) and split units (M = 1.7 units per household) being the most common.
■ Top loading washers (63%) and electric dryers (65%) are the laundry facilities used most
by residents.
■ Nearly all residents own a television set. The LCD type (44%; M = .9 per household) is
the most popular.
■ Only eleven percent of residents know the cost of operating their appliances over a
lifetime. Most (87%) feel that the Government should require stores to provide this
information.
Lighting
■ Seventy-two percent of residents use at least some fluorescent or CFL light bulbs.
■ Twenty-five percent of residents use at least some LED light bulbs.
■ Some residents commented on preferring traditional light bulbs and finding them cheaper
than the LED light bulbs.
4Key Findings
Solar Energy Systems
■ The majority of Bermuda residents (71%) are open to the use of solar panels on Bermuda
homes.
■ Nearly forty percent of residents (39%) report being aware of the Government’s Solar
Photovoltaic Rebate Initiative.
Wind Energy Systems
■ Fifty-seven percent of Bermuda residents are open to the use of offshore wind turbines.
■ Residents were not worried about the aesthetic look of wind turbines except if they were
on their properties.
■ Several residents stated location and cost would influence their support for wind turbines.
5Key Findings
Nuclear Energy Systems
■ Fourteen percent of residents are in favour of a nuclear power station in Bermuda.
■ Residents are not comfortable living nearby a nuclear power station, nor are they
comfortable with nuclear waste disposal issues.
Bermuda’s Energy Equation
■ Close to one third of residents (32%) report being aware of the Bermuda Energy Green
Paper.
■ Sixty percent of residents are aware that the Tynes Bay Waste Facility generates
electricity.
■ Almost half of Bermuda residents (46%) believe that large scale renewable energy
projects ultimately benefit Bermuda’s Tourism industry.
■ The majority of residents believe that the Government should mandate that existing
buildings increase their energy efficiency (65%), and that new buildings be fitted with
renewable energy technologies (83%).
■ Most residents (81%), believe that the Bermuda public has a duty to conserve their overall
energy consumption to avert the need for BELCO to expand.
6Key Findings
Bermuda’s Energy Equation (Cont’d)
■ Most residents believe that the price of oil is likely to increase significantly in the future
(86%), and that oil production is finite (64%).
■ Eighty percent of residents believe that the price of electricity in Bermuda is tied to the
price of oil.
Electric Utility Bill
■ Less than one-third of residents (32%) completely understand how they are charged for
their electric bill.
■ Seventy-eight percent of residents would consider having an energy audit.
■ The majority of residents would like the ability to track their energy usage (86%) and
believe this would help reduce their consumption (92%).
7Key Findings
Transportation
■ Most residents (45%) commute to work using a private car. Twenty-four percent commute
using a motorcycle or auxiliary cycle.
■ Close of half of the residents (48%), claim to know the fuel efficiency of their primary
vehicle.
■ Less than 2 in 10 residents (19%) believe that local auto dealers provide enough
information about vehicle fuel efficiency and the majority believe they should.
■ Most residents (81%) are in favour of having Government set energy standards for
vehicles being imported into Bermuda
■ The majority of residents (71%) would not feel safe using a pedal bike due to other drivers
driving habits.
■ Ninety-one percent of residents favour transforming Bermuda’s railway trails into a
national pedal cycle network/walking trail.
8Key Findings
Climate Change
■ Eighty-six percent of residents believe that greenhouse gases from human activity are
causing climate change.
■ Seventy-one percent of residents believe that Bermuda has a responsibility to establish
emissions reduction targets similar to other jurisdictions.
■ Residents believe that the greatest problems with climate change will be the frequency
and severity of storms, ocean acidity that negatively impacts marine life, and rising sea
levels.
9Detailed Findings
Household Appliances
Appliances In Household
■ Residents are most likely to own the following household appliances -- refrigerators (100%),
microwaves (92%), washing machines (89%), and dryers (84%).
■ Residents are more likely to own more than one refrigerator/freezer (24% own more than
one; Average = 1.3 refrigerators /freezers).

I use those where I can. They are more energy efficient.
I prefer to LED ones because they're brighter and cooler.
I would definitely use an energy efficient bulb. I am for green.
I rather use energy saving light bulbs.
I would agree with that, saves costs and energy.
I replaced a lot of bulbs with the new energy saving light bulbs. I don't know which one
they are, it doesn't say whether they are LED or whatever. I would change over.

Unless they can put it on one of the islands. Unsightly all over the island if everyone had their own wind turbine. We have enough wind - great idea. Seen in other countries - it seems to work. We have to find a way to use wind and sun because we have so much of it. I want to be away from oil use. We should look into the pebble nuclear systems. We have to get off oil. Bermuda is finally, 30 years too late, getting on the idea of solar polar. Now that technology has caught up, I think alternative energies are crucial. We should not have them. We shouldn't be doing it. We should be looking for alternative measures. More efficiency in the household, lighting, also construction of the building which is more efficient this way. When you build a house it's mandatory that you have a water tank I think in the future they should have passive and active solar as mandatory for any new building. Offer incentives for people who go to improve their kitchen or bathroom it's mandatory to install active or passive solar. Would like to know more about them.
