The environmental group Transition Bath has launched a survey to find out how people see the future of housing.
The group says that, with 12,000 homes scheduled to be built in and around Bath over the next 15 years, now is the time to shape the look and feel of the city.
It is trying to find out what the people of Bath want to see in relation to the energy efficiency of these new homes.
Philip Haile, of its energy group, said: "B&NES Council will be making decisions on the building standards they will demand from the developers.
"The outcome of those decisions will affect the energy-efficiency, house-building standards, and ultimately the household energy bills of the new residents. We want to feed your opinions into that debate."
It is intended that the results of the survey will be made available to the council and published on Transition Bath's website.
Sarah Warren, author of the survey, added: "We would like as many people as possible to complete the survey and feed in to this debate."
As further encouragement one participant will get to choose between a free thermal imaging energy survey of their home, or a visit to Thermae Bath Spa.
The survey is at www. bit.do/tbsurvey.
