社区主导的方法已经出现在英国,作为一种替代途径,通过改变房主的理解和行为,再加上实物翻新,实现减少国内能源需求。采用社会技术办法来制定和应用监测和评价框架。这一框架包括纵向能源使用评估、现场监测和定性社会科学调查,以评估能源改造的影响(对改变个人和家庭能源行为的影响)和有效性(实现真正的能源使用和碳排放节约),对六个低碳社区(LCC)的27户自住住宅进行能源改造。结果表明,能源改造在减少住宅能源使用方面相当有效(75%的家庭经历了天然气和/或电力使用的减少)。研究还揭示了翻新对室内环境条件和居住者行为的更广泛影响。这种影响,无论是有意的还是无意的,可能并不总是积极的;然而,土地使用控制机制似乎特别成功地通过增加与能源使用和行为有关的动机、能力、认识和知识,为家庭提供便利。这项研究的见解有助于为未来的战略实施提供信息,以减少现有住房的能源需求,以实现国家二氧化碳目标。
Community-led approaches have emerged in the UK as an alternative route for realizing reductions in domestic energy demand through changes in homeowners' understanding and behaviours when coupled with physical retrofitting. A socio-technical approach is used to develop and apply a monitoring and evaluation framework. This framework comprises assessment of longitudinal energy use, in-situ monitoring and qualitative social science surveys in order to evaluate the impacts (on changing individual and household energy behaviours) and effectiveness (on achieving real savings in energy use and carbon emissions) of energy retrofits of 27 owner-occupied homes across six low carbon communities (LCCs). Results indicate that the energy retrofits have been reasonably effective in terms of reducing energy use in dwellings (75% of homes experienced reductions in gas and/or electricity use). The research also reveals wider impacts of retrofits on indoor environmental conditions and behaviours of the occupants. Such impacts, intended or otherwise, may not be always positive; however, the LCCs appear particularly successful in facilitating the households, through increased motivations, capability, awareness and knowledge relating to energy use and behaviours. Insights from the study can help to inform future strategy implementation for reducing energy demand from existing housing to meet national CO2 targets.
