Mitigating the impacts of climate change will require a substantial shift in household energy consumption practices. Understanding the dynamics of household energy consumption practices is therefore critical to the study of energy system transitions.
In this session, David Foord presented lessons from sociotechnical transition studies and discussed how they might be applied to energy system modelling.
