A causal model of the adoption of home heating energy conservation measures

Abstract

A causal model of energy conservation behavior, incorporating both psychological and household variables, is developed and tested. A longitudinal survey of owner-occupied, single-family residential units in Decatur, Illinois, serves as the basis for empirical analysis. Results indicate that psychological variables are better predictors of conservation behavior than socioeconomic, demographic or dwelling unit variables. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
