Natconsumers - Main Factors And Attitudes Behind Energy Consumption

<strong>NATCONSUMERS</strong>’ key aim is to develop an economically and technologically feasible, advanced and complex user-centred framework to help decrease domestic energy consumption. Within this framework, the project has conducted surveys to find the most relevant drivers behind energy saving attitude. Four countries were chosen for the survey: the UK, Hungary, Italy and Denmark. In each of the four countries, a sample of 1,000 individuals aged 18-65 were surveyed. This sample size was deemed the most cost effective to provide a nationally representative sample. People living in shared accommodation – those in student campuses, residential care homes, sheltered housing or military barracks – were excluded from the sample as these people have limited or no control over energy use in their residence. Anyone working for the advertising or marketing industry or within the energy industry was also excluded from the sample as this could provide a conflict of interests which would bias their responses. Data collection happened in March and April 2016, conducted by Ipsos in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Italy, and by NRC in Hungary. The project D3.3 deliverable summarizes the main findings from the survey. http://natconsumers.eu/?wpdmdl=1582 The project D4.2 deliverable presents how this data could be used in NATCONSUMERS counselling. http://natconsumers.eu/?wpdmdl=1586 The project final deliverable D7.4 gives a summary how these data sources need to be processed and applied in a user-centred energy advice system. http://natconsumers.eu/?wpdmdl=1709NATCONSUMERS的核心目标是构建一套经济可行、技术成熟且先进复杂的以用户为中心的框架，助力降低家庭能源消耗。 在此框架下，该项目开展了多项调研，以探明影响公众节能态度的核心驱动因素。 本次调研选取英国、匈牙利、意大利与丹麦四国开展，每国招募1000名年龄介于18至65岁之间的受访者作为样本。该样本规模被认为是实现全国代表性样本的最优成本效益方案。研究对象排除了居住在集体住宿（包括学生宿舍、养老机构、保障性住房或军营）的人群，此类群体对居所能源使用的控制权有限或完全缺失；同时排除了广告、营销行业或能源行业从业者，因其可能存在利益冲突，进而导致调研回答出现偏倚。调研数据采集工作于2016年3月至4月间完成，其中英国、丹麦与意大利的调研由益普索（Ipsos）执行，匈牙利的调研则由NRC负责。 项目交付件D3.3总结了本次调研的核心发现，相关资源链接为：http://natconsumers.eu/?wpdmdl=1582。 项目交付件D4.2阐释了该数据集在NATCONSUMERS咨询服务中的应用路径，相关资源链接为：http://natconsumers.eu/?wpdmdl=1586。 项目最终交付件D7.4概述了此类数据源的处理规范，以及其在以用户为中心的能源咨询系统中的落地应用方案，相关资源链接为：http://natconsumers.eu/?wpdmdl=1709。
