How to engage consumers in demand response: A contract perspective (2013, background): “Such costs and benefits are associated with consumer related criteria such as altruism and prosocial motivation (Delmas et al., 2013), price risk, volume risk, complexity, loss of autonomy/privacy, and financial compensation.”
Green nudges: Do they work? Are they ethical? (2016, background): “20 See Delmas et al. (2013) for a comprehensive meta-study on experiments testing the behavioral impact of feedback provision.”
Internal and external barriers to energy efficiency: which role for policy interventions? (2019, background): “Delmas et al. (2013) present the most comprehensive meta-analysis of different types of interventions.”
Saving Power to Conserve Your Reputation? The Effectiveness of Private versus Public Information (2012, positive): “Surveys of the existing feedback literature report savings from 4 to 12 percent, with the highest savings coming from real-time feedback (Abrahamse et al., 2005; Darby, 2006; Delmas et al., 2013; Ehrhardt-Martinez et al., 2010).”
The question of energy reduction: The problem(s) with feedback (2015, positive): “According to Ofgem (2013), the average British household pays d1342 in energy bills so, if energy reductions of 2% (Delmas et al., 2013) are achieved, then IHDs could result in savings of d2.”
Social norms and pro-environmental behavior: A review of the evidence (2017, neutral): “In a meta-analysis of energy conservation strategies, Delmas et al. (2013) ﬁ nd that comparative feedback is not a signi ﬁ cant driver of behavior changeandattributethis ﬁ ndingtoalackoflarge-scalestudiesexamining the impact of this type of feedback.”
A meta-analysis of residential PV adoption: the important role of perceived benefits, intentions and antecedents in solar energy acceptance (2021, background): “had to exclude studies because they did not report effect sizes in a format that enables conflation [106].”
