Sustainable energy policy and tackling climate-change-related issues require exploring energy consumption patterns. This paper proposes an integrative methodological approach called grounded survey for understanding behavioral factors behind household energy consumption. The study aims to overcome the restrictions of both quantitative and qualitative studies by combining participatory-systems-mapping (PSM) based focus group research with a quantitative survey. Focus groups were used to highlight common patterns, which helped formulate survey questions specifically into understudied areas of energy-related behavior. The survey helped validate these qualitatively grounded questions, while generating generalizable quantitative results based on a representative sample. Finally, a comparative assessment contrasted the comprehensive qualitative analysis with the survey findings. Two causal loop diagrams of common patterns are employed to illustrate the methodological model. This integrative approach deepens understanding of behavioral factors behind energy consumption and provides policy recommendations to strengthen the relationship between heating-related behavior and heating costs. The grounded survey method can be utilized in studying wicked or paradox problems in which the relationship between behavioral and technical factors are complex and possibilities for intervention are limited. The application of the model is suggested in areas where development can only be achieved through behavioral change.

可持续能源政策和解决与气候变化有关的问题需要探索能源消费模式。本文提出了一种称为“基础调查”的综合方法，以了解家庭能耗背后的行为因素。该研究旨在通过将基于参与式系统映射（PSM）的焦点小组研究与定量调查相结合，克服定量和定性研究的局限性。焦点小组被用来强调常见的模式，这有助于将调查问题专门提出到与能量有关的行为的未被研究的领域。该调查有助于验证这些定性的问题，同时基于代表性样本生成可概括的定量结果。最后，比较评估将综合定性分析与调查结果进行了对比。使用两种常见模式的因果回路图来说明方法模型。这种综合方法加深了对能耗背后行为因素的理解，并提供了政策建议以加强与供热有关的行为与供热成本之间的关系。扎根的调查方法可用于研究行为或技术因素之间的关系复杂且干预可能性有限的邪恶或自相矛盾的问题。建议将模型应用于仅通过行为改变才能实现发展的领域。使用两种常见模式的因果回路图来说明方法模型。这种综合方法加深了对能耗背后行为因素的理解，并提供了政策建议以加强与供热有关的行为与供热成本之间的关系。扎根的调查方法可用于研究行为或技术因素之间的关系复杂且干预可能性有限的邪恶或自相矛盾的问题。建议将模型应用于仅通过行为改变才能实现发展的领域。使用两种常见模式的因果回路图来说明方法模型。这种综合方法加深了对能耗背后行为因素的理解，并提供了政策建议以加强与供热有关的行为与供热成本之间的关系。扎根的调查方法可用于研究行为或技术因素之间的关系复杂且干预可能性有限的邪恶或自相矛盾的问题。建议将模型应用于仅通过行为改变才能实现发展的领域。扎根的调查方法可用于研究行为或技术因素之间的关系复杂且干预可能性有限的邪恶或自相矛盾的问题。建议将模型应用于仅通过行为改变才能实现发展的领域。扎根的调查方法可用于研究行为或技术因素之间的关系复杂且干预可能性有限的邪恶或自相矛盾的问题。建议将模型应用于仅通过行为改变才能实现发展的领域。
