2009年制定了能源文化框架，以支持对新西兰能源行为的跨学科调查。在本文中，我们讨论的框架，根据5年的实证应用和概念的发展。文化的概念有助于更好地理解能源行为，因为它传达了行为如何嵌入日常生活的物质和社会背景，以及它们如何重复和多样化。该框架表明，可以通过研究特定主体（例如个人、家庭、企业、部门）的规范、做法和物质文化之间的相互关系，以及这些规范、做法和物质文化如何受到外部影响来研究其能源文化。我们讨论了框架的关键理论影响，以及框架的核心概念是如何演变的，因为我们已经将它们应用于不同的研究情况。然后，我们说明了我们如何将该框架应用于一系列主题和部门，以及它如何用于支持跨学科研究，确定能源文化集群，在不同规模和不同部门检查能源文化，并为政策制定提供信息。
The energy cultures framework was developed in 2009 to support interdisciplinary investigation into energy behaviour in New Zealand. In this paper, we discuss the framework in light of 5 years of empirical application and conceptual development. The concept of culture is helpful in seeking to better understand energy behaviour because it conveys how behaviours are embedded within the physical and social contexts of everyday life, and how they are both repetitive and heterogeneous. The framework suggests that the energy culture of a given subject (e.g. an individual, a household, a business, a sector) can be studied by examining the interrelationships between their norms, practices and material culture, and how these, in turn, are shaped by external influences. We discuss the key theoretical influences of the framework, and how the core concepts of the framework have evolved as we have applied them in different research situations. We then illustrate how we have applied the framework to a range of topics and sectors, and how it has been used to support interdisciplinary research, in identifying clusters of energy cultures, in examining energy cultures at different scales and in different sectors, and to inform policy development.
