Electronic feedback as a tool for changing households energy consumption

Abstract

Reducing energy consumption and its impact on the environment is one of the priority objectives of the European Union. Activities aimed at increasing energy efficiency in the household sector are of particular importance in achieving this goal. The aim of the article is to present tools used to inform consumers about household energy consumption and a review of literature in this field. A review of research conducted in recent years indicates that providing information on energy consumption may lead to changes in behaviour. Nonetheless, other activities aimed at engaging consumers and educating them on the subject of possible ways to reduce energy consumption are necessary
