The present work delivers the results of a survey conducted inFlorian\'{o}polis, on the southern region of Brazil, using a digitalquestionnaire which inquired about the interaction with demand managementsystems (DMSs) in a smart house context. In particular, the survey addressedthe interviewees' thoughts on demand management and gathered data to enable thedesign of Quality of Experience (QoE) based demand management policies. Theinvestigation of QoE-aware approaches is significant as it enables the DMS totake decisions not only based on economic metrics, but also taking thediscomfort caused to the users into account. The number of responses guaranteeda confidence level of 95\% and an error margin of 4.63\% and the content ofsuch responses showed favorable disposition of the interviewees on allowinginterventions of DMSs on their energy consumption habits as long as it reducestheir expenses with energy. The data concerning discomfort caused by demandmanagement actions on several home appliances was treated using clusteringtechniques and different typical user profiles were leveraged, represented bythe centroid of each cluster. Those profiles can be used to deploy QoE-awareDMSs tailored for the local reality, which seems as a promising business modelas smart houses become a reality.
