Figure 2. City, state and climate zones represented by respondents.
Note: NCT = National Capital Territory; one city, Chandigarh, is shared by both Punjab and Haryana; cities located in the cold climate zone are on the border of the cold zone and another zone; cities and states with only one representation are grouped into ‘other’ categories.

Figure 3. Professional expertise of respondents, experience in energy efficiency/green building and prior knowledge of building performance evaluation (BPE) for the respondents.
Note: Many respondents had multiple categories of professional expertise. Acad./Ind. = academic/industry professional; Arch./consult. = architect/green building consultant; Policymaker/ind. = policy-maker/industry professional. Industry refers to the building industry. Prior knowledge classifications: Limited = ‘I have only studied the concept and methods’; Moderate 1 = ‘I have some applied knowledge of the methods’; Moderate 2 = ‘I have performed at least one BPE/POE’; and Extensive = ‘I have performed more than one BPE.’
