The infographic presents the responses of homeowners to a question: “On a scale of 0 to 10, to what extent do you feel that there is energy waste in your home?”. The image consists of a histogram displaying five bars corresponding to the levels of perceived sentiment. The data displayed is:
Score 0-1: 12%
Score 2-4: 32%
Score 5: 17%
Score 6-8: 33%
Score 9-10: 6%
A note indicates that 39% of homeowners have a strong feeling of wasting energy, corresponding to those who assigned a score between 6 and 10.
The set shows that one-third of homeowners are in the 6-8 range, which contributes mostly to the group expressing a high feeling of energy waste.
