Presentations online of IEA energy efficiency behaviour workshop
The 11th and 12th of March, the International Energy Agency [IEA] in Paris hosted a workshop on energy efficiency and behaviour in the buildings sector.
The goal of this workshop was for representatives from IEA member countries and key emerging economies to share experiences with designing, implementing and evaluating innovative energy efficiency initiatives that take account of behavioural factors. Experts from more than 30 countries participated in this event.
Several sessions were really relevant to the topics covered by this blog:
