References and literature review data - Understanding and Preventing Behavioural Rebound Effects: A Design Tool for Sustainable Design across Contexts

This dataset includes the references and extracted literature data on contextual factors influencing behavioural rebound mechanisms in Solar Home Systems. It is supplementary to the paper “Understanding and Preventing Behavioural Rebound Effects: A Design Tool for Sustainable Design across Contexts” and provides the foundation for systematically linking contextual factors, behavioural mechanisms, and design strategies across both high-income and low- to middle-income countries.The abstract of the paper is as follows: “Solar photovoltaic systems are a key renewable energy solution, but behavioural rebound effects offset their environmental potential. As Solar Home System adoption grows in low- to middle-income countries, it is crucial to understand how contextual factors (e.g., social norms) shape these effects, yet research on this topic is scarce. Through a systematic literature review, this study identifies 15 contextual factors influencing behavioural rebound mechanisms (BRM). Findings are integrated into a design tool helping developers analyse contexts, anticipate BRM, and apply prevention strategies.”
