Abstract
Energy industries are a major contributor to greenhouse
gas emissions. In addition to promoting cleaner
electricity generation, increasing attention is paid to
households' energy use. This paper investigates how
different campaigns, regulations and technological
solutions aim to impact households' energy use and what
kinds of challenges such initiatives face. A special
emphasis is on residents' experiences from an apartment
house designed to increase the sustainability of living.
The paper presents how the different features (e.g., an
energy monitoring system, solar panels) are seen by the
residents.
