Abstract
Launched in 2012, the Energy Cultures Project is led by the
Centre for Sustainability at the University of Otago and aims to
develop knowledge and tools to achieve a sustainable energy
transition across New Zealand. The Energy Cultures 2 Project
focuses on efficiency transitions in three domains: households,
businesses and transport systems.These policy briefs are an output of the Energy Cultures 2 research programme, funded
2012-2016 by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. The purpose of these briefs is to assist with the design of improved policies and practices to promote more efficient energy use in households, businesses and transport in New Zealand.
