Energy Conferences and Workshops in New Zealand

In February, Tim has been invited to participate in the International Energy Authority Demand Side Management programme (http://www.ieadsm.org/)  Task XXIV workshop in Wellington, New Zealand.  He will be helping organise part of the workshop based around the Four Dimensions of Behaviour (4DB) Framework developed as part of his current ESRC funding in partnership with Charlie Wilson at the Tyndall Centre at UEA.

Whilst he is there he will be attending the Energy Conference 2013, organised by The National Energy Research Institute and Victoria University of Wellington and entitled: Energy at the Crossroads: Energy Innovation for a Sustainable Society. http://www.theenergyconference.org.nz/

He will be presenting an oral paper entitled “Which Types of Interventions Work the Best in Changing Domestic Energy Using Behaviours?” based on the work that UWE undertook in partnership with RAND Europe and the Tyndall Centre at UEA for the Department of Environment and Climate Change.  This work has now been published as part of DECC’s Energy Efficiency Strategy

He will also be presenting a poster on his current ESRC funded work entitled “Improving Opportunities for Energy Reduction from 'Behaviour Change' through the Use of Multiple Models and a Better Characterisation of Behaviour”.
