Overview

There is a significant potential for saving energy in California through behavioral change—in deciding on what products or buildings we buy, as well as deciding on how much energy we want to use. However, there has been very little support for research on behavioral change, and, until recently, there has been very little interest in the topic of energy behavior and decision-making. The purpose of this program is to increase the awareness of this topic by key decision makers as well as to encourage funding for research on the topic. CIEE’s Energy Behavior and Decision Making Program currently focuses on the following areas:

• Behavior, Energy and Climate Change (BECC) Conferences
• Behavior and Energy Working Papers
