摘要

关于改变家庭能源行为的各种干预措施有广泛的证据基础,但关于其长期效果的证据却很有限。有观点认为,对个人行为的干预措施在干预措施撤消后会随着时间的推移而减弱。由于家庭的条件和组成会随着时间的推移而发生变化,因此很难对这些论点进行评估,也就很难在几年后分离出行为干预的效果。社会实践理论认为,干预措施不应以个人态度或行为为目标,而应侧重于家庭实践(如洗衣和取暖),以及作为家庭能源使用原因的清洁和舒适的基本概念。与行为不同,实践也被视为社会共享的、与其他实践捆绑在一起的、嵌入社会结构和过程中的。实践是长期存在的持久实体;因此,真正的实践改变将带来持久的干预影响。我们的论文定性研究了基于实践的生活实验室干预的长期效果(2018-2023 年),该干预旨在影响芬兰家庭的洗衣和取暖实践。我们比较了 21 个家庭在干预过程中学到的新做法或改变的做法是如何在社会变革(即 Covid 大流行和能源危机)中持续存在的,以及这些新做法或改变的做法是否有助于家庭更好地应对这些危机。通过这种方式,我们对评估长期效果的问题做出了贡献,同时也重新构建了这一问题,并批判性地考虑了小规模干预措施在实践中的持续性。

What can we say about the longer-term impacts of a living lab experiment to save energy at home?

What can we say about the longer-term impacts of a living lab experiment to save energy at home?

There is a wide evidence base on various interventions to change energy behaviours in households, but limited evidence on their long-term effects. It is argued that interventions in individual behaviours are subject to attrition over time following the withdrawal of the intervention. Evaluation of these arguments is difficult since the conditions and composition of households change over time, making it hard to isolate the effects of a behavioural intervention several years later. Social practice theory argues for interventions that do not target individual attitudes or behaviours but focus instead on household practices (such as laundering and heating homes), and the underlying notions of cleanliness and comfort that are the causes of energy use in households. In contrast to behaviours, practices are also seen as socially shared, bundled with other practices, and embedded in social structures and processes. Practices are durable entities that persist over time; true practice change would hence entail durable intervention impacts. Our paper qualitatively investigates the long-term effects (2018–2023) of a practice-based living lab intervention that aimed to influence laundry and heating practices in Finnish households. We compare how the new or changed practices of 21 households, learned during the intervention, have persisted through societal changes (i.e., the Covid pandemic and the energy crisis), and whether these new or changed practices helped households to deal better with these crises. In this way, we contribute to, and also reframe, the problem of evaluating long-term effects, and critically consider the persistence of small-scale interventions in practices.

期刊介绍: The journal Energy Efficiency covers wide-ranging aspects of energy efficiency in the residential, tertiary, industrial and transport sectors. Coverage includes a number of different topics and disciplines including energy efficiency policies at local, regional, national and international levels; long term impact of energy efficiency; technologies to improve energy efficiency; consumer behavior and the dynamics of consumption; socio-economic impacts of energy efficiency measures; energy efficiency as a virtual utility; transportation issues; building issues; energy management systems and energy services; energy planning and risk assessment; energy efficiency in developing countries and economies in transition; non-energy benefits of energy efficiency and opportunities for policy integration; energy education and training, and emerging technologies. See Aims and Scope for more details.
