What is behaviour (in Task 24)?
Energy behaviour refers to all human actions that affect the way that fuels (electricity, gas, petroleum, coal, etc) are used to achieve desired services, including the acquisition or disposal of energy-related technologies and materials, the ways in which these are used, and the mental processes that relate to these actions.
Behaviour Change in the context of this Task thus refers to any changes in said human actions which were directly or indirectly influenced by a variety of interventions (e.g. legislation, regulation, incentives, subsidies, information campaigns, peer pressure etc.) aimed at fulfilling specific behaviour change outcomes. These outcomes can include any changes in energy efficiency, total energy consumption, energy technology uptake or demand management but should be identified and specified by the Behaviour Changer designing the intervention for the purpose of outcome evaluation.

Subtask 1 – More definitions
Models of behaviour help us to understand specific behaviours, by identifying the underlying factors which influence them. There are individualistic models and social models.
By contrast, theories of change show how behaviours change over time, and how they can be changed.
Behavioural theory is diagnostic, and change theory is more pragmatic.
Both are important to understand when designing interventions!
For more information, visit www.ieadsm.org
Subtask 1 – Models of Understanding Behaviour – some caution
✓ Models are concepts, not representations of behaviour
✓ Behaviour is complex, models are deliberately simple
✓ There is a limit to how far models will stretch ✓ Models don’t tend to differentiate between people ✓ Attitudes/awareness don’t always precede
behaviour ✓ Factors are not barriers

Individual Models Social ModelsPros Cons Pros ConsSome have understanding of dual process of cognition
Easy to follow A+B+C= behaviour change
Can look at various (mostly influencing) contexts affecting individuals
Known and tested
Very powerful with segmentation and bottom-up tailoring
Scale-ability
Inclusivity
Breadth of Scope
Causal relationship hard to determine
Not shown to be that effective, especially if based on intentions
More complex models hard to use
Takes systemic approach thus easily scaled up
If you change a practice, it can be a global change
Looped, re-enforcing
Influencing and contextual factors
Fosters collaboration among all sectors
More realistic?
Too complex to understand
Dependent on many elements to work together
Frustrating if right collaboration can’t be fostered
Hard to put into practice
May only speed up change

What is storytelling?
‘Storytelling’ is the construction of a desirable future based on a narrative of past events, with a plot that expresses
some causal relationship To read more: Rotmann et al (2015). Once Upon a Time… How to tell an energy efficiency story that ‘sticks’. ECEEE

Stories are:
• Universal• Help us process information• Providing multiple perspectives• Subjective, not one truth• Aid recall• Shape identity• Make connections

The art and scientific methodology of storytelling
Narratives = social science tool aimed at providing way to explore how big events (policies) impact on small scale (individuals)
Allow for quick, practical and useful understanding of complexity of interconnected factors in behaviour research
We all turn everything into a narrative in order to remember it
Stories are powerful because they transport us into other people’s worlds but, in doing that, they change the way our brains work and potentially change our brain chemistry — and that’s what it means to be a social creature. Paul Zak, Neuroeconomist
“
“
"The Interpreter" - is a left hemisphere function that organises our memories into plausible stories. Michael Gazzaniga, Cognitive Neuroscientist
Evolution has wired our brains for storytelling. A story, if broken down into the simplest form is a connection of cause and effect. We make up (short) stories in our heads for every action and conversation. Whenever we hear a story, we want to relate it to one of our existing experiences. Uri Hasson, psychologist
The ‘narrative turn’: Storytelling sociology views lived experience as constructed, at least in part, by the stories people tell about it. Berger & Quinney, sociologists

Subtask 1 – Some ‘Monster’ findings
Each of the domains of Task 24 also had some unique story lines, eg:
▪ Transport: driving is a very routine behaviour, with built-in capacity for adaptation/adoption to new cars/routes/traffic;
▪ Buildings: retrofitting-related behaviour deals with investment decisions at the planning stage where unappealing new behaviours can be quickly rejected or even result in cancelling a planned action.
▪ Smart metering: many cases demonstrate that this domain deals with an entirely new behaviour, presenting opportunities for impact through training and feedback but also almost no existing behavioural context to use as a starting point.
▪ SMEs: many of the behaviours that need to change require a lot of risk taking and senior leadership, with potentially big impacts on staff and productivity.
For more information, visit www.ieadsm.org
Subtask 1 – Some ‘Monster’ findings
Each of the domains also had some highlights, eg: ▪ Buildings: Warm Up NZ programme for its use of intermediaries and
strong stakeholder engagement, as well as evaluation focus on health improvements as main metric and Swedish Sustainable Järva Project
▪ Transport: NZ Post’s Driver Behaviour Training for its use of trusted trainers and the Dutch Spitsmijden congestion avoidance pilot
▪ Smart metering: NOT working were time of use tariffs (NZ and Italy) and solely economic incentives (though NLs Jouw Energie Moment had a more systemic approach); the Swedish Energy AWARE Clock was a great example of using smart design in providing better feedback
▪ SMEs: EECA’s Crown Loan Subsidy was thought to be great once it learnt to use trusted intermediaries and shared learning. A good example of nudging was shown in the Belgian Build4Change case.

Subtask 1 – Sustainable Järva (Building Retrofits)
For more information, visit www.ieadsm.org
Subtask 1 – Sustainable Järva (Building Retrofits)Once upon a time… there were 6 neighbourhoods around the field of Järva that were in urgent need of improvement. They were constructed in the 60s as part of the 1million Home programme to tackle a growing housing deficit in urban areas in Sweden. They contained housing units for more than 60000 people, but times had changed a lot since then… Every day… People in the area were experiencing economic and social challenges. Many of the foreign residents were unemployed and struggling with the Swedish language, and youth was lacking good opportunities for education. The houses were terribly inefficient and the area in general did not work for the needs of its residents. Several investments had been undertaken but nothing worked and people felt no one was listening to them. But, one day… the City of Stockholm decided to improve the living conditions once and for all. But this time would be different, this time they realised that circumstances were radically different to the 60s and that, in order for upgrading the area successfully, they needed to involve the residents. From the beginning. Because of that… the Järva dialogue was initiated during the Fall 2009 and for one week 10000 residents left over 30000 opinions and suggestions how the area should be developed and improved. Based on their contribution a vision was formulated and measures were planned in 4 areas: 1) improved housing and urban environment, 2) everyday security, 3) better education and language teaching, 4) more jobs and entrepreneurship. But then… it was also realised that the area and the buildings had been constructed before the energy crisis without considering the environment, and thus the project Sustainable Järva was born to include an energy, environment and climate-focus to the vision. Until, finally… the dialogue with the residents continued and together with all stakeholders many great measures were planned to promote sustainable lifestyles, satisfaction and well-being. The ultimate goal with the project was to serve as a model for sustainable development. And, ever since then… the neighbourhoods around the field of Järva have become a place where people want to live, work and play. The end.

Subtask 1 – Main differences between disciplines
The programmes based (explicitly and implicitly) on economic theories usually translate into approaches that: - focus mainly or even solely on individuals - are mostly technocratic thus seem to be generating biggest benefits for the supply side, not the end user - regard individuals as instrumentally/economically rational creatures (‘Homo
economicus’) - regard information deficits as an important cause of ‘non-rational’ behaviours - focus often on short and one-off financial incentives - focus on extrinsic motivations mainly (ie are dependent on the response they evoke
from others) - do not normally tailor their approach to the individual characteristics - lack flexibility and room for engagement, co-creation and participation - monitor mainly quantitative aspects and work with calculated or modeled savings
Behavioural economics-based approaches also include insights from social psychology, and for instance focus on the power of nudging people into different behaviours through their infrastructural, institutional or design environment.

Subtask 1 – Main differences between disciplines
Social marketing, or insights from psychology, sociology and collaborative learning and practice theory approaches are increasingly being used.
These programmes are often cross-sectoral and use elements of theories and models in an eclectic manner. Very often, user engagement is central to the design. They do take account of the impact of the wider context and environment and social norms and are thus clearly based on a more systemic perspective/theory or model. They:
- focus on collaboration and institutional capacity building - focus on building trust in market parties and information sources - target end user needs and multiple benefits - use multiple definitions of success - perform pre-scoping - allow for engagement and participation - allow for flexibility and iteration of programmes - focus on institutional change - focus on lifestyles - use the power of social norms

The pros and cons of each approach
• They do well with what they intend to do and fit well within the current economic and political system and way of thinking
• The programmes are relatively easy to evaluate in quantitative terms and often show good results
• The (retrofitting) market can grow • Subsidies are often used up to the max • Many homes do get insulated • Behavioural economics does manage to
nudge a certain percentage • Free riders upgrade their plans and retrofit
more comprehensively • Sometimes even a new norm seems to be
emerging…
• These types of interventions are very complex with many partners who have different mandates, needs and restrictions
• They cannot be driven by policy alone, need all levels collaborating
• Not everyone wants to change everything or their lifestyle
• Not everyone wants to engage but it is important to ensure that the naysayers are not becoming the over-riding voice
• The flexibility of changing goals, aims and interrelatedness of issues etc makes it difficult to evaluate
➔ But people tend to like them much more!

The New Zealand love story with insulationOnce upon a time... there was a beautiful country called New Zealand,which had very cold, damp houses.
Every day...Kiwis shivered and froze, but they just told each other to stop being a sissy and put on another jumper.
But, one day...the new right-wing Government decided it needed to show it wasn’t uncaring and evil and created a programme called Warm Up New Zealand. It was meant to insulate a quarter of the housing stock, create many jobs and a new market, and reduce energy use, energy bills and CO2.
Because of that...the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority set about tendering for the best contractors in the country to fulfil this lofty goal.
But then...they realised that people weren’t that interested in insulation, they rather spent their money on a new kitchen and kept putting on those jumpers!
Because of that... they concentrated on using Third Party Providers and other community groups to ensure that at least the most needy and vulnerable people got free insulation and clean heating installed.
So, finally... they did an evaluation and found that the real benefits - $5 for every $1 spent, lay in the health improvements, not a new market or energy savings or lower bills.
And, ever since then... The other Kiwis also slowly realised that being warm and cozy in your home was maybe just as important as having a new kitchen. The End.

So… what’s the moral of the story of Task 24?
• There is no silver bullet anywhere but the potential remains huge • Homo economicus doesn’t exist (in energy humans) • Habits are the most difficult thing to break, though it’s easiest
during moments of change • There is no such thing as individual energy use • We need to look at whole-system, societal change • This can’t be done in isolation by one sector - collaboration is key • Everyone has a piece of the puzzle but we can’t see the whole
picture yet • We need a shared learning and collaboration platform that works • We also need a shared language based on narratives
➔ It’s all about the people!

Task 24 view of the Energy System
We pose that the Energy System begins and ends with the human need for the services derived from energy (warmth, comfort, entertainment, mobility, hygiene, safety etc) and that behavioural interventions using technology, market and business models and changes to supply and delivery of energy are the all-important means to that end.
