Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2012, vol. 16, issue 6, 4095-4104

Abstract: Energy behaviours represent a significant untapped potential for the increase of end-use energy efficiency in buildings. Although energy behaviours are a major determinant of energy use in buildings, energy savings potential due to behaviour are usually neglected, albeit being referred to be as high as those from technological solutions.
