Abstract

- Behavioural change is pivotal for demand reduction and must be useful, usable and desirable
- Research guides policymakers in tailoring incentives, products and services to users’ values, needs and desires to promote behavioural change
- Multiple barriers hinder energy-saving behaviour, but extensive research provides solutions to address them
- Targeted information and awareness-raising significantly enhance user engagement and the impact of behavioural changes for all user types
