NP5005: Chapter paper: Behaviour change via social sanctions and shared electricity

Applying behaviour change methods to reduce home energy consumption has resulted in varying outcomes and also conservation effects that were short-lived. 

The outcome of this study will help the community to scale the solar and battery storage combination that works best for them based on their usage and their willingness to invest and participate. The proposed system could provide an optimum net zero energy district tailored for the community based on the local parameters and their behaviour.
