I. Characteristics of the housing unit

15. Utilities: In this housing unit, is there a:

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.

VI. Equipment
15. Equipment
These questions identify whether the housing unit has equipment or facilities that allow for greater functionality and comfort in the daily activities of the residents.

Read the question mentioning each equipment, listen to the answers, and select the code that corresponds in each case.

Use the following definitions to explain to respondents in case of doubt:

The tinaco is a large capacity container to store water that can be made of plastic or asbestos. It is usually located on the roofs of houses, although it can also be found at ground level. Sometimes, the population calls it Rotoplas, as it is the most publicized brand of water tanks.

The cistern or reservoir is a large water tank that is built subway or at ground level; sometimes, it can be a buried water tank. The important thing is that the population can store water in considerable quantities.

Note that the cistern or reservoir and the water tank may store water for more than one housing unit and may use the same water pump, for example, in an apartment building or in duplex houses; in these cases, consider that each of the housing units does have such equipment if the respondent declares it.

In some places, the respondent may respond that they have a basin where they collect water. If the pool you are referring to is a large stone or concrete construction used to store water, consider that it does have a cistern or water cistern. Plastic drums are not considered.

The water pump is a motor-driven device used to drive the circulation of water. It is mainly used to raise water from one level to another, for example, to an elevated water tank, or to suck water from a well.

The sprinkler is a device that once installed to a water supply, falls in the form of rain and allows it to wash the body in an agile and comfortable way.

The boiler or water heater is a device that has the function of raising the water temperature. It can run on gas, electricity, or wood; regardless of the fuel you use, consider it in this option.

The solar water heater, like the boiler, raises the temperature of the water, but it does so by means of solar cells that capture the sun energy.

An air conditioner is an appliance used to cool closed environments, for example, rooms in the housing unit. They are frequent in very hot places.

The solar panel for electricity is a device that captures the sun's radiation to generate electricity. A solar panel can be installed in the house regardless of whether it is supplied with electricity from the CFE or another source. It is also known as a photovoltaic module.
