Abstract: Excerpt from the Preface: Wood and Energy in New Hampshire presents information on residential use of wood energy obtained from two household surveys. The first survey, conducted in 1979, obtained detailed information from more than 800 households. The second, or followup survey of 200 households, conducted a year later, provided estimates of fuelwood use in 1979-80 and more information on likely impacts of the increase in residential demand for wood energy on the State forest resource base (fuelwood is used interchangeably with firewood and cordwood in this report). The New Hampshire surveys confirm that a broadly based transition to cordwood use has occurred in household heating. This energy shift has significantly changed the use of conventional energy and added to demands placed upon forests.
