Conditioning demand : Older people, thermal comfort and low-carbon housing
(2015) In Energy Policy 84. p.191-194- Abstract
- This special issue presents findings from the ‘Conditioning Demand: Older People, Diversity, and Thermal Experience’ re- search project undertaken between 2011 and 2013. The aim of the project was to address the confluence of two key future trends: Europe's ageing population and the need to reduce domestic en- ergy consumption to counter rising utility prices and the in- creasing threat of climate change. These dynamic processes play out in a wide range of places but perhaps no more so than in the domestic sphere. The research team started from the premise that demand is not simply about the consumption of energy but rather about the services that energy can provide (Lutzenhiser, 1993). Patterns of energy consumption are not only... (More)

Patterns of energy consumption are not only influenced by eco- nomic decisions and value choices but are configured by complex networks of technological, social, cultural, and institutional factors (Shove, 2003).
