在政策和法规中，为实现可持续性减少CO2排放，对住宅的能源效率给予了很大的关注。本文探讨了一个类似的，被动式太阳能住宅与阳光空间和居住者的行为对他们的能源效率的影响。研究发现，空间供暖年均需求低于预期，这表明将被动式太阳能收益作为一种可再生能源进行计量可能会带来好处。根据居住者的行为，每个人的空间供暖需求在不同住所之间的变化高达14倍。进一步的证据显示可能是45倍。在这种居住类型的重大行为被确定。第二项研究使用了31个个人生态足迹（PEF）账户来评估住宅能源效率在环境可持续性方面的重要性。当代生态住宅的居民和居住在一系列传统住宅类型中的实践永久文化主义者之间进行了比较。结果发现，生态住宅居民的平均PEF是永久性耕作者的1.6倍。有人认为，改善可持续性教育将是一个更有效的方式来减少国内能源需求比目前公认的。
Much focus is given to the energy efficiency of dwellings, in policy and regulation, in pursuance of reduced CO2emissions for sustainability. This article examines a terrace of 6 similar, passive solar dwellings with sunspaces and the effects that occupants' behaviours have on their energy efficiency. It was found that average annual space heating demand was less than expected, indicating potential benefits from measuring passive solar gains as a form of renewable energy. Space heating demand per person varied by a factor of up to 14 between dwellings dependent on occupant behaviour. Further evidence showed a factor of 45 possible. Significant behaviours in this dwelling type were identified. A second study used 31 personal ecological footprint (PEF) accounts to assess the significance of dwelling energy efficiency in terms of environmental sustainability. A comparison was made between residents of contemporary eco-homes and practising permaculturists occupying a range of traditional house types. It was found that the PEF of the average eco-home dweller was 1.6 times higher than that of the permaculturists. It is argued that improved education for sustainability would be a more efficient way to reduce domestic energy demand than currently recognised.
