Carbon Neutral Kent Woodlands - Energy Survey
*
1.
Carbon Neutral Kent Woodlands (CNKW) is an organization created by Kent Woodlands residents concerned about climate change.
We thank you for taking the time to complete the Energy Survey, which will help us understand important information about what members are already doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.The first set of questions are focused on electricity generation.
More than a third of Marin County’s greenhouse gas emissions are from buildings. We can dramatically reduce our household carbon footprint by ending our use of natural gas and by choosing MCE Deep Green electricity.
Which service generates electricity for your home? PG&E provides the billing and power infrastructure (the grid) for Marin County. However, you have three choices for how your electricity is generated: PG&E (49% renewable), MCE Light Green (60% renewable), and MCE deep green (100% renewable).
(You can find this information in your PG&E bill.)

2.
Do you have solar panels?
(This helps us estimate our collective KWPOA generation capacity.)
(Required.)
No
Yes
If you have solar panels, do you know your generating capacity (in KW)?
If you do not have solar panels could you tell us why?
3.
If a disaster were to strike, homes with emergency charging capabilities will keep life saving medical devices operating.
Do you have back-up power
and can you share if it is a generator (natural gas or propane) or batteries?
I do not have back up power
I have a natural gas generator
I have electric storage batteries
I have a propane generator
4.
The next set of questions are focused on transportation. More than half of Marin County’s carbon footprint is from transportation.
What type of engine does your
primary
vehicle have?
I do not own a vehicle
Gas/diesel engine
Hybrid/plug-in hybrid
Electric
How many miles do you drive this vehicle every year?
5.
Do you own a
second
vehicle?
No, I do not own a second vehicle
Yes, Gas/Diesel
Yes, Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid
Yes, Electric
How many miles do you drive this vehicle per year?
6.
Do you own a
third
vehicle?
No, I do not own a third vehicle
Yes, Gas/Diesel
Yes, Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid
Yes, Electric
How many miles do you drive this vehicle per year?

Finally, are there other ways in which you are uniquely reducing emissions or electrifying your home? Or anything else not captured in the Energy Survey?
Electric induction or radiant cooktop instead of gas cooktop
Electric heat pumps instead of conventional gas-powered HVAC
Electric water heater instead of a gas water heater
Something else you'd like to share?
