In this webinar, Drs. Michelle Hilscher and Sarah Carpentier, two behavioral scientists at BEworks,discussed the psychological and behavioral drivers behind enrolment in energy affordability assistance programs, including how the barriers of negative social stigma and hassle costs can be exacerbated by the so called “scarcity mindset”. They will present evidence-backed strategies to increase enrolment in these programs among the people who need them most, and will provide behaviorally-informed recommendations for policy makers hoping to effect maximal change to reduce residential energy burden.
