Description
The research project examined decisions on energy consumption made by private German households by running a representative study with more than 1200 respondents. The inter- and trans-disciplinary project ran from March 2008 to November 2010 and was supported by the funding initiative From Knowledge to Action - New Paths Towards Sustainable Consumption.
