没有居民的合作，减少家庭能源的技术解决办法是不够的。如果没有人想住在这些房子里，安装或使用高效的照明和供暖设备，那么假设高效技术可以节省多少能源就无关紧要了。因此，为了提高家庭能源效率干预措施的吸收和有效性，有必要了解“为什么人们对特定的能源效率干预措施的反应方式？“对50名居民的深入访谈进行了分析，他们参加了四项国内能效干预措施之一。研究结果表明，审美品味和对生活方式的影响等问题是人们拒绝经济上可行、简单和易于理解的家庭能效干预措施的核心原因。
Technological solutions to domestic energy reduction are insufficient without the cooperation of inhabitants. It does not matter how much energy hypothetically could be saved by efficient technologies if no one wants to live in the properties, install or use efficient lighting and heating. Therefore, to improve the uptake and effectiveness of household energy-efficiency interventions, it is necessary to understand 'why people react to particular energy-efficiency interventions in the ways they do?' An analysis is presented of in-depth interviews with 50 inhabitants who participated in one of four domestic energy-efficiency interventions. The findings indicate that issues such as aesthetic tastes and effects on lifestyle are central to why people reject economically viable, simple and well-understood domestic energy-efficiency interventions.
