Research by Kumar, Andrews et al. – Saving from home! How income, efficiency, and curtailment behaviors shape energy
The authors explored the role of annual household income on efficiency and curtailment behaviors while controlling for the physical and demographic variables using structural equation modeling (SEM). Next, they tested the extent and direction of self-reported energy efficiency and curtailment behaviors.
