Energy Saving on campus: A comparison of students’ attitudes and reported behaviours in the UK and Portugal 1. Introduction

چکیده
Energy efficiency has an increasingly important role to play in responses to climate change at both an individual and organisational level (IPCC, 2014). Personal consumption patterns (consumer behaviour, household energy use, dietary changes etc.) are identified as crucial elements in the move towards lower carbon emissions, thus efforts to promote energy-saving behaviour change form an important part of the policy agenda (Brounen et al., 2012; Geller et al., 2006). Unfortunately, even when people are motivated to change their behaviour with regard to energy saving, many lack sufficient understanding to make appropriate decisions (Gardner and Stern, 2008; Lorenzoni et al., 2007), or fail to change their habitual responses to similar situations even in the light of altered intentions (Kastner and Matthies, 2014).
