Evaluating the impact of energy interventions: home audits vs. community events

Abstract: New Zealand's housing stock tends to be of low thermal quality that can adversely affect the health and well-being of occupants as well as costing more than necessary to heat. Householders need information and motivation to make material changes and adopt new practices to achieve warmer and more energy-efficient homes. This study compares two different types of energy interventions with householders in three different suburbs in Dunedin, New Zealand. Two suburbs received a home energy audit whereby an auditor … Show more

“…It "took cues from multiple theories and explanations of behaviour, and aimed to bridge the divide between research traditions centred on the individual and those focused on wider social and technological influences" (Stephenson et al, 2015a: page 117). Since its first publication it has been used to support enquiry into a variety of topics, including timber companies use of drying technologies (Bell et al, 2014), the impact of different home energy advice approaches (Scott et al, 2016), mobility and the future of transport (Stephenson et al, 2015b;Hopkins and Stephenson, 2014;Hopkins and Stephenson, 2016), individuals' actions on greenhouse gas emissions (Young and Middlemiss, 2012), and energy behaviour in higher education in Malaysia (Ishak et al, 2012).…”

“…A systematic literature review is defined as “a systematic, explicit, and reproducible design for identifying, evaluating and interpreting the existing body of recorded documents” (Fink, 2013, p. 3). As a large share of relevant research on energy and organizational culture is often conducted through in‐depth case studies or surveys (Abett et al , 2010), we believe in a review’s strength to add knowledge to the research landscape and support evidence-informed management (Seuring and Gold, 2012; Tranfield et al , 2003) by condensing the vast amount of information and making it easier to digest. We applied the review in four stages: (Stage 2.1) selecting bibliographic databases and research questions, adopting (2.2) practical as well as (2.3) methodological screening and (2.4) synthesizing the results (Cooper, 1982; Fink, 2013; Seuring and Mueller, 2008).…”

“…For instance, some of our results examine how community energy and microgrids benefit rural areas in Chile [72] and Thailand [73]. Another compared the impact of energy audits and community events in New Zealand [74]. Injecting citizen science methods into research that takes place might help to contribute to various SDGs; however, for the purposes of this study, we focused on how existing citizen energy communities in the EU might further co-produce knowledge in the following areas: smart grids and smart meters, auto-consumption (primarily rooftop solar-thermal and solar PV), and citizen utilities and demand side management.…”
