15. Extended questionnaire
This section of the questionnaire contains the questions you must apply in the households you have registered as: Single house on the land, house sharing land with other(s); duplex house; apartment in a building; housing unit in neighborhood or tenement and housing unit in the rooftop room of a building. That is, with classes 1 to 6 of private housing unit class.

IV. Electricity
10. Electricity
This question distinguishes households based on whether or not they have electricity.

Read the question, listen to the answer, and select the appropriate code.

A housing unit is considered to have electricity if there is at least one light bulb that shines regularly, even if:

- At the time of the interview there is a fault, short, or blackout.
- Residents do not pay for the service or it is temporarily suspended.
- The housing unit does not have an electric meter.

Nor does it matter the source of the light, whether it comes from a private plant, a solar panel, the Federal Electricity Commission (FEC), or any other source or medium.

11. Lamps
With these two questions, we know the number of light bulbs used to light the house, as well as the amount of these that are energy-saving.

Read the first question and give the respondent time for their response, as accounting for lamps sometimes involves remembering where they are located.
Register the number mentioned.

This includes light bulbs inside and outside the housing unit, on ceilings, walls, or lamps, regardless of type: incandescent, energy-saving, halogen, etc.

Then ask the second question, in which only energy-saving bulbs are counted.

Verify that the number of energy-saving light bulbs is equal to or less than the total amount of light bulbs in the housing unit.

If the housing unit does not have energy-saving light bulbs, register 0.
