energy behaviours represent important underexploited resource context promoting enduse energy efficiency namely residential sector however addressing multidimensional nature energy behaviours complex task effective behaviour change interventions policies grounded comprehensive approaches required integrative intervention explore influence usage energy behaviours energy consumption developed innovative combination modelling techniques realworld case study utilised generate contextualised understanding intervention supported problem structuring methods pertinent tools utilised complex humancentred energy research energy behaviours enabling development tailored methodologies minimise human bias confirmed realworld behaviour change interventions involve different energy stakeholders designed flexible adaptive results confirmed variables associated different dimensions significantly impact energy consumption case study promotion residential energy efficiency includes structural energy behavioural actions namely better insulation dwellings encouraging specific usage energy behaviours results support need consider integrative perspective addressing energy behaviours designing effective behavioural change interventions energy efficiency policies
