Modelling energy-efficient renovation adoption and diffusion process for households: A Decision-Support Tool Approach
Household energy efficiency adoption, including adopting energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies, contributes to society's sustainable development and improves people's health and living quality.
Energy efficiency adoption in households falls behind expectations despite the growing coverage and the number of energy-efficient incentives and interventions. Understanding the adoption decision process and the impact of interventions on adoption and diffusion is necessary for effectively encouraging the adoption of household energy efficiency and accelerating its diffusion.
This involves investing in neighborhood projects to offset the energy gap, allocated based on households' financial status for energy justice.
My projects can be divided into the following two parts. The first part investigates factors influencing energy efficiency adoption and diffusion among households. The second part uses the agent-based model developed upon research results from the first part to simulate intervention impact on energy efficiency diffusion.
Keywords: Energy efficiency, agent-based model, intervention evaluation, household decision-making process, social influences
