Abstract

This chapter explores interventions of energy consumption in households and their impacts on behavioural changes by addressing the main behavioural barriers of sustainable energy consumption. The main objectives of this chapter are to identify the importance of nudges in reducing energy consumption and implementation of renewable microgeneration technologies and to develop recommendations for tailor-made interventions. A qualitative research method is applied to analyse the climate change mitigation measures linked to energy consumption in households based on systematic literature review. Traditional economic and regulatory policy tools can be effectively supplemented by nudges; however, more research is necessary in this field.
