EC2 is a 4-year research project, led by the University of Otago, that aims to develop the knowledge and tools to achieve a sustainable energy transition in New Zealand’s households, businesses and our transport system. ‘Energy Cultures’ are the ways that technologies, practices and norms lock us into certain patterns of (often unsustainable) energy use. Our research is about how to support businesses and households break out of these habitual patterns, and achieve greater productivity and improved wellbeing. EC2 has two parts: Efficiency Transitions in Households and Businesses. It runs from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2016.
