Behavioral research and the built environment

Achieving energy efficiency and climate change goals usually centers on technology but real building energy use is determined by people who inhabit buildings. Building Behavior offers the latest research and news from behavioral researchers and energy professionals on how people affect the energy performance of buildings, and how to listen to, engage, and use the creativity of occupants in everyday progress toward climate goals. Building Behavior hopes to bring together these different communities – behavioral and energy professionals, and artists – both working on climate change. The research summaries present solutions. And the arts and culture stories offer inspiration.
