“…This implies that improving performance expectancy, such as brightness, colour, maintenance cost, energy savings; and effort expectancy, such as ease of use and ease of maintenance, makes it possible to manage and influence the decision-making processes of potential customers. These findings are consistent with Cowan and Daim, 28 who found that performance expectancy and effort expectancy are hypothetically and directly related to behavioural intentions. Price value, which is a factor of the UTAUT2 model, showed a significant, direct and positive effect on the intention to buy LED lighting, which supports the third hypothesis (H3).…”

“…Cowan and Daim 28 reviewed literature on the adoption of energy-efficient lighting technology and concluded that effort expectancy includes the ease of use, ease of maintenance and ease of recyclability. In the case of performance expectancy, the authors concluded that this item includes implementation cost, energy savings, payback time, maintenance cost, total cost of ownership, brightness, light colour, start-up speed and flicker.…”

“…27 To maximize the benefits of new technologies, users should adopt them and have sufficient knowledge about their benefits and uses. 28 It is also necessary to identify significant factors affecting the adoption process and the use of new technologies. Therefore, this study adopted the performance expectancy and effort expectancy elements of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model and price value from the UTAUT2 model to examine consumers' intentions to use LEDs.…”

This study investigates the significant factors affecting the adoption of light emitting diode lighting among households in Malaysia by conceptualizing and extending the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology through the adaptation of price value and the anticipated emotions of pride and guilt within the model. This study used the partial least squares technique to validate measurements and to test the research hypotheses. The results obtained from analysing 1075 valid survey questionnaires revealed the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy and price value on the intention to use light-emitting diodes among Malaysian households. While the results support the mediating role of attitude between the three variables and intention to use light-emitting diodes, the moderating role of anticipated pride on the relationship between attitude and intention to use light-emitting diodes was not supported. The findings confirm that guilt significantly moderates the relationship between attitude and intention.

“…Previous research indicated that adopting energy-efficient items was more prominent than general societal norms [17]. As a result, generic societal norms have little direct influence and are dominating in influencing individual behaviour to conduct energy efficiency [18,19] propose harmonizing conceptions of a healthy environment by adding social variables within community groups, such as government regulations that give incentives and educational initiatives. Government involvement in educational programs or campaigns to raise awareness of the use of energy efficiency in adopting green technologies can boost community efforts to protect the environment while also achieving cost-effectiveness [20].…”

In order to determine how nudging could affect Indonesians' energy use habits, we ran a pilot experiment. The pilot study provided compelling evidence in favor of utilizing nudging to encourage increased energy use that is more ecologically friendly. It is mainly used to offer real-time information utilizing prepayment meters (smart electricity) to display energy usage and to provide transparency about the effects of current energy use and costs to lower peak consumption. By contrasting and showing their own and their peers' energy consumption habits, the authors minimized consumption by using social norms established by peer comparisons. Between December 2021 and April 2022, the research was conducted in urban areas of Bantul, Jogjakarta. Sixty-two respondents are divided into two groups of households: observe (self-selected) and control families (randomly selected). Both observer and control families must have had an active electricity account for at least one year and owned a dwelling ranging in size from 50 to 200 square meters. The model employed a t-paired sample using the "Non-Equivalent Groups Design" (NEGD) framework for the comparisons and the Logit model. The result found a significant difference in energy saving between the two groups for three months of the experiment. The research discovered that Prepaid Meter and Social Norm & Feedback could decrease energy bills. The results showed that every change in the Nudging Social Norm variable could increase energy saving and had a significance value at the 95% significance level.

“…So general social norms do not directly affect and are dominant in determining individual behavior to perform energy efficiency (Lingyun et al, 2011). Cowan and Daim (2013) suggest harmonizing perceptions about a healthy environment by incorporating social factors within community groups, including policies that provide incentives and educational programs made by the government. Government intervention in educational programs or campaigns on awareness of energy efficiency in adopting green technology can increase community efforts to protect the environment and ultimately achieve costeffectiveness (Malkani, 2012).…”

This research investigated consumer behavior patterns on energy conservation and energy efficiency. We investigated the factors that influence the rebound effect based on common characteristics and Socio-economic household characteristics in urban communities. This paper also explored the conservation of electricity through the idea of "nudge." The authors used the word "encouragement" in the chosen architectural program, designed to reduce household electricity consumption so that the rebound effect did not occur in household consumption. By utilizing the 'social norms and curtailment,' households given a "nudge" can save more on their electricity consumption costs. The condition of "nudge" that we included was through information on the costs incurred by households, 'social norms and curtailment,' and energy efficiency through replacing conventional lamps with energy-efficient lamps. The research took place in urban areas in the Bantul, Jogjakarta, between December 2021 and April 2022. Sixty-two respondents divide into two groups of households, i.e., observe households (self-selected) and control households (randomly selected). Both observe and control households must have an active electricity account for at least one year and have owned a house between 50 and 200 square meters. The model used a t-paired sample through the "Non-Equivalent Groups Design" (NEGD) framework for the two comparisons. The research found that 'social norms and curtailment' can reduce household electricity consumption, has cost savings over electricity consumption on average to 16.3049% for three months, and no rebound effect on savings happened.
