Developing and maintaining efficient energy-saving behaviors in the workplace is an important factor in reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Building on integrated theories, including a recently developed theoretical approach to studying the dynamics of social norms and decision-making, the theory of planned behavior, the norm activation model, and the motivation-opportunity-ability model, this study analyzes the influence of normative values, office design, and perceived benefits and costs on energy-saving behaviors in different office settings. Based on a survey from 555 U.S. employees, this study found that occupants in single-person offices were influenced by a combination of descriptive, injunctive, and personal norms, while those in shared offices tended to align their actions with injunctive norms and ascription of responsibility. Descriptive norms had a stronger effect on energy-saving behaviors in single-person offices than in shared offices. Ascription of responsibility, however, had a stronger effect on energy-saving behaviors in shared offices. The perceived ease of access to building control features significantly influenced energy-saving behaviors of shared-office occupants only. Time availability had no significant effect on energy-saving behaviors of occupants in both single-person and shared offices. This study provides policy recommendations for building architects, engineers, managers, and policymakers to enhance energy-saving behaviors.

工作中的节能:了解规范价值观和感知收益和成本在美国单人和共享办公室中的作用

在工作场所发展和保持有效的节能行为是减少能源消耗和温室气体排放的重要因素。本研究以综合理论为基础,包括最近发展起来的研究社会规范和决策动态的理论方法、计划行为理论、规范激活模型和动机-机会-能力模型,分析规范的影响。价值观、办公室设计以及不同办公室环境中节能行为的感知收益和成本。根据对 555 名美国员工的调查,这项研究发现,单人办公室的居住者受到描述性、禁令和个人规范的综合影响,而共享办公室的人倾向于将他们的行动与禁令规范和责任归属保持一致。与共享办公室相比,描述性规范对单人办公室节能行为的影响更大。然而,责任归属对共享办公室节能行为的影响更大。感知到的建筑物控制功能的易用性仅显着影响共享办公室居住者的节能行为。时间可用性对单人办公室和共享办公室的居住者的节能行为没有显着影响。本研究为建筑建筑师、工程师、管理人员和政策制定者提供政策建议,以加强节能行为。与共享办公室相比,描述性规范对单人办公室节能行为的影响更大。然而,责任归属对共享办公室节能行为的影响更大。感知到的建筑物控制功能的易用性仅显着影响共享办公室居住者的节能行为。时间可用性对单人办公室和共享办公室的居住者的节能行为没有显着影响。本研究为建筑建筑师、工程师、管理人员和政策制定者提供政策建议,以加强节能行为。与共享办公室相比,描述性规范对单人办公室节能行为的影响更大。然而,责任归属对共享办公室节能行为的影响更大。感知到的建筑物控制功能的易用性仅显着影响共享办公室居住者的节能行为。时间可用性对单人办公室和共享办公室的居住者的节能行为没有显着影响。本研究为建筑建筑师、工程师、管理人员和决策者提供政策建议,以加强节能行为。感知到的建筑物控制功能的易用性仅显着影响共享办公室居住者的节能行为。时间可用性对单人办公室和共享办公室的居住者的节能行为没有显着影响。本研究为建筑建筑师、工程师、管理人员和政策制定者提供政策建议,以加强节能行为。感知到的建筑物控制功能的易用性仅显着影响共享办公室居住者的节能行为。时间可用性对单人办公室和共享办公室的居住者的节能行为没有显着影响。本研究为建筑建筑师、工程师、管理人员和决策者提供政策建议,以加强节能行为。
