This paper wishes to add to the rich literature of studies exploring the reasons behind the energy efficiency gap. To this direction, it presents the results of a stated preference survey conducted on a representative sample of Greek households via computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) in the context of the “Consumer Energy Efficiency Decision making (CONSEED)” project. The survey was designed and conducted so as to reach every type of household and gather information on the factors influencing households’ energy efficiency choices. The emphasis was given on certain issues that previous studies identified as needing further research, such as the impact of EU labelling scheme on consumers’ decision-making, the connection between pro-environmental behaviour and willingness to invest in more energy-efficient appliances and the role of peer effects, misinformation about current electricity prices and imperfect understanding of energy operating costs on the energy efficiency gap. The findings of the survey are not an end-to-itself but a vehicle for behavioural research in energy efficient decisions. The data collected and analysed can be used to populate theoretical models regarding energy efficiency gap and determine the degree to which each factor contributes to the phenomenon. Moreover, they could help decision-makers in better understand the energy paradox, and, thus, could contribute to crafting better public policy responses that would maximise private and social benefits associated with the adoption of energy-efficient choices.

幕后花絮:为什么节能家电这么卖?

本文希望在丰富的研究文献中探索能源效率差距背后的原因。为此,它介绍了在“消费者能源效率决策(CONSEED)”项目中通过计算机辅助网络访谈(CAWI)对希腊家庭代表性样本进行的陈述性偏好调查的结果。该调查的设计和执行旨在覆盖各种类型的家庭,并收集有关影响家庭能源效率选择的因素的信息。重点是先前研究确定需要进一步研究的某些问题,例如欧盟标签制度对消费者决策的影响,环保行为与投资于更节能设备的意愿之间的联系,以及同伴效应的作用,有关当前电价的错误信息以及对能源效率成本对能源效率差距的理解不完善。调查的结果并非最终目的,而是节能研究中行为研究的工具。收集和分析的数据可用于填充有关能效差距的理论模型,并确定每个因素导致该现象的程度。此外,它们可以帮助决策者更好地理解能源悖论,从而有助于制定更好的公共政策对策,从而最大程度地提高采用节能选择所带来的私人和社会利益。关于当前电价的错误信息以及对能源效率差距的能源运营成本了解不足。调查的结果并非最终目的,而是节能研究中行为研究的工具。收集和分析的数据可用于填充有关能效差距的理论模型,并确定每个因素导致该现象的程度。此外,它们可以帮助决策者更好地理解能源悖论,从而有助于制定更好的公共政策对策,从而最大程度地提高采用节能选择所带来的私人和社会利益。关于当前电价的错误信息以及对能源效率差距的能源运营成本了解不足。调查的结果并非最终目的,而是节能研究中行为研究的工具。收集和分析的数据可用于填充有关能效差距的理论模型,并确定每个因素导致该现象的程度。此外,它们可以帮助决策者更好地理解能源悖论,从而有助于制定更好的公共政策对策,从而最大程度地提高采用节能选择所带来的私人和社会利益。调查的结果并非最终目的,而是节能研究中行为研究的工具。收集和分析的数据可用于填充有关能效差距的理论模型,并确定每个因素导致该现象的程度。此外,它们可以帮助决策者更好地理解能源悖论,从而有助于制定更好的公共政策对策,从而最大程度地提高采用节能选择所带来的私人和社会利益。调查的结果并非最终目的,而是节能研究中行为研究的工具。收集和分析的数据可用于填充有关能效差距的理论模型,并确定每个因素导致该现象的程度。此外,它们可以帮助决策者更好地理解能源悖论,从而有助于制定更好的公共政策对策,从而最大程度地提高采用节能选择所带来的私人和社会利益。
