 An energy-motivation case studyS. Fawkes and J. Bratley Applied Energy, 1989, vol. 34, issue 1, 57-68 Abstract: Most energy-management case studies focus on capital investments in new technical equipment, such as more-efficient boilers, lighting systems or computerised energy-management systems. The wide range of technical options for saving energy are well documented and advertised. Another aspect of energy management--namely the achievement of [`]no cost' or [`]good housekeeping' measures through well-organised motivation and incentive campaigns--is not so well reported. This is due to there being few examples of this type of project, which itself probably reflects the energy managers' preferences for dealing with [`]hard' engineering rather than [`]soft' people-orientated issues. This paper documents the development and implementation of a motivation campaign for the Social Services Department of Coventry City Council which was novel for two reasons: first, it is believed to be the first motivation campaign in a Social Services department; and secondly, it involved the use of training, incentives and feedback in an integrated way that it is believed greatly boosted its effectiveness.
