Introduction

In an effort to better understand the needs as well as the user satisfaction of the energypedia community, we recently conducted our first Energypedia User Survey. The survey was launched on 30th June 2015, with a survey link on our website, survey request sent via emails to all our registered users as well as a survey link on our communication channels like newsletter, Facebook, twitter and LinkedIn. The survey was closed on 13th July 2015. The survey covered three main aspects

• information on energypedia users and their level of satisfaction with energypedia
• quality of the information on energypedia
• Energypedia community (does the community know about all the resources on energypedia, how do they use it)

A total of 185 users responded to the survey and the key outcomes of the survey is highlighted below. We will also incoperate all the feedbacks into our future plans for energypedia. Please feel free to send any comments on these survey finding, or additional feedback for energypedia at info@energypedia.info.
