The EEA report, Achieving energy efficiency through behaviour change: what does it take? reviews recent studies on behaviour change and energy use. It shows that up to 20% of the energy we currently consume can be saved through changing behaviour:
A certain rebound effect might occur when implementing energy efficiency policies but it is unlikely to be sufficiently high to outweigh the benefits of these policies. In addition, energy efficiency policies have multiple benefits in terms of employment, health and competitiveness that should be considered as well.
To complement the findings from this report, the EEA would like to know the opinions of energy users on proposed measures to facilitate a reduction in energy use by households. Do you think that more information on how you use energy would help you save energy? Would financial incentives persuade you to change your energy consumption habits?
