People-Centered Initiatives for Increasing Energy Savings

An amazing variety of social influences drive new innovations and behaviors that, in turn, significantly change the patterns of technology adoption and energy consumption. There remains a large gap in the available information that might help policymakers and program managers more effectively integrate “people-centered insights and initiatives” into current efforts to accelerate cost-effective energy savings. ACEEE offers this 22-chapter e-book as an effort to open up the discussion by providing a useful resource that we hope will be a highly valuable reference to help guide future research on this critically important topic.
