(Commissioned Report for External Body, 2017)The Dunedin Energy Baseline Study is a joint research project between the Dunedin City Council (DCC) and the Centre for Sustainability at the University of Otago. The study takes stock of and analyses energy inputs to the ... -
(Journal Article, Energy Efficiency, 2017)Road transport contributes a significant amount towards New Zealand’s carbon emissions, mostly from light vehicles. These emissions could be partly reduced by an increase in more efficient driving practices, and reductions ... -
(Project Report, 2016)Moving to a low carbon economy in New Zealand requires a considerable shift in the current transport system as a whole (Carrington et al, 2014). Indeed, the New Zealand transportation system in has a number of key issues ... -
(Project Report, 2016)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 ... -
(Commissioned Report for External Body, 2017)Transport plays a central role in the economy and in the wellbeing of society. However, the use of vehicles also has undesirable consequences such as particulate emissions, road accidents and greenhouse gas emissions. ... -
(Journal Article, AMBIO: A journal of the human environment, 2016)This paper uses empirical material gathered with young adults in New Zealand to examine a potential sustainability transition-in-practice. It draws from two frameworks; the actor-centred Energy Cultures Framework to explore ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), BEHAVE 2016 4th European Conference on Behaviour and Energy Efficiency, 2016)Road transport contributes a significant amount towards New Zealand’s carbon emissions, mostly from light vehicles. These carbon emissions could be partly reduced by an increase in more efficient driving practices. It has ... -
(Journal Article, the Journal of Transport Geography, 2016)In this paper, we examine the factors that contribute to the replication or reduction of automobility amongst young adults. Semi-structured interviews conducted in Aotearoa New Zealand, with 51 drivers and non-drivers, ... -
(Journal Article, Transportation Research Part A: Policy & Practice, 2016)Preference for private motorised vehicles grew substantially through the global North, during the 20th Century. Through this time, licensing, car ownership and vehicle kilometres travelled (VKT) rose across age groups. ... -

(Journal Article, Energy Policy, 2015)We contrast two measures of fuel poverty in New Zealand. The first is based on estimated expenditure of over 10% of household income on fuel. The second is self-reported deprivation of fuel because of an inability to afford ... -
(Journal Article, New Zealand Sociology, 2016)One in four households in New Zealand are fuel poor. A growing body of evidence links the technical and economic aspects of this phenomenon, however comparatively little research has focused on the wider social impacts. ... -
(Journal Article, Energy Efficiency, 2016)New Zealand’s housing stock tends to be of low thermal quality that can adversely affect the health and well-being of occupants as well as costing more than necessary to heat. Householders need information and motivation ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016)It has become increasingly important to use energy more efficiently, through the pressures on resource availability and the effects on climate change. This thesis studies how household energy related behaviour can or does ... -
(Project Report, 2016)The widespread growth globally of micro-generation (particularly PV) means that consumers are interacting with electricity systems in new ways, becoming ‘energy prosumers’ – both producing and consuming energy. We define ... -
(Project Report, 2016)The future management of New Zealand’s electricity grid will be impacted by changes in the way that consumers interact with electricity. These include uptake of micro-generation, electric vehicles, storage, and energy ... -
(Project Report, 2016)Smart home technologies (such as smart thermostats, smart appliances, smart plugs, and smart lights) can communicate within the home enabling improved, remote and autonomous control over appliances, leading to greater ... -
(Journal Article, Policy Quarterly, 2013)There appears to be widespread assumption that there is a 'silent majority' of people who support proposals but do not make submissions, and that those who do make submissions tend to be opposed and therefore do not reflect ... -
(Commissioned Report for External Body, 2010)This report, and the research which informs it, was commissioned by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA). Its purpose is to examine whether societal acceptance issues are significantly limiting the ... -
