| Summary: | Energy efficiency is among the cheapest,
cleanest, and most widely available of energy resources.
Improved energy efficiency provides opportunities to
sustainably expand energy services and support development
and economic growth, contributing to higher living
standards, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In
developing countries, where demand for energy is growing
rapidly, the potential for energy efficiency improvements is
significant, particularly in the residential sector. The
purpose of this guide is to raise awareness of behavioral
approaches to achieving development outcomes, demonstrate
the role that behavioral sciences can play in promoting
energy efficiency, and provide guidance on how to integrate
behavior change approaches into projects. |
