Digital energy visualisations in the workplace: the e-Genie tool (2017)
Journal Article
Spence, A., Goulden, M., Leygue, C., Banks, N., Bedwell, B. D., Jewell, M., …Ferguson, E. (in press). Digital energy visualisations in the workplace: the e-Genie tool. Building Research and Information, https://doi.org/10.1080/09613218.2018.1409569

Building management systems are designed for energy managers; there are few energy feedback systems designed to engage staff. A tool, known as e-Genie, was developed to engage workplace occupants with energy data and support them to take action to re...

Public prioritisation of energy affordability in the UK (2017)
Journal Article
Demski, C., Evensen, D., Pidgeon, N., & Spence, A. (2017). Public prioritisation of energy affordability in the UK. Energy Policy, 110, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2017.08.044

Much research has focused on the so-called ‘energy trilemma’ – i.e., three leading energy policy issues: energy security, affordability, and climate change mitigation. Whilst substantial understanding exists of why people support climate-friendly ene... Read More about Public prioritisation of energy affordability in the UK.

Saving energy in the workplace: why, and for whom? (2017)
Journal Article
Leygue, C., Ferguson, E., & Spence, A. (2017). Saving energy in the workplace: why, and for whom?. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 53, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2017.06.006

Saving energy at work might be considered altruistic, because often no personal benefits accrue. However, we consider the possibility that it can be a form of impure-altruism in that the individual experiences some rewards. We develop a scale to meas...

Guilty repair sustains cooperation, angry retaliation destroys it (2017)
Journal Article

Sustained cooperative social interactions are key to successful outcomes in many real-world contexts (e.g., climate change and energy conservation). We explore the self-regulatory roles of anger and guilt, as well as prosocial or selfish social prefe... Read More about Guilty repair sustains cooperation, angry retaliation destroys it.

Effects of exemplar scenarios on public preferences for energy futures using the my2050 scenario-building tool (2017)
Journal Article

Understanding which energy future configurations provide publicly acceptable levels of energy security, affordability, and environmental protection is critical for institutional decision-making. However, little is known about how scenarios influence... Read More about Effects of exemplar scenarios on public preferences for energy futures using the my2050 scenario-building tool.
