He is interested in all aspects of methods and methodology, particularly with respect to learning and teaching. Experiments, surveys, participant observation and interviewing - and more particular problems such as measurement, levels of analysis and the relevance of epistemological issues - are thoroughly discussed. The findings allow us to understand why important recent policy initiatives such as the UK Green Deal failed to achieve their objectives and they suggest lessons for more effective incentive based policy making in the field of residential energy consumption. By employing a focused case study approach using both quantitative and qualitative response analysis, it considers the motivations of residential householders in the UK to reduce fossil fuel use, with additional perspectives from UK landlords, a global environmental NGO, a senior politician, and two senior stakeholder strategy managers from a large energy company.

ABSTRACT: This paper investigates residential energy consumption in the UK by using a novel and topical approach based on behavioural analysis. A more straightforward writing style makes the content easier for all students to follow, particularly those for whom English is not a first language. As a means of more effectively reducing carbon dioxide emissions, we conclude that policy should focus on sustainable energy use. Clear theoretical explanations in the main text are enhanced by 'Key concept' boxes, which summarize important terms and processes, and 'Thinking deeply' boxes, which encourage students to go further in considering an issue or debate.

Our interpretative behavioural analysis shows that a variety of incentives are necessary to encourage behaviour change.
