Behavior-based energy efficiency programs, including home energy reports, have long helped utilities deliver energy savings. But as priorities shift toward cutting climate pollution, reducing grid strain, and supporting home electrification, these programs are evolving. Join us for a webinar exploring a new report detailing how behavior-based programs are adapting to meet today’s energy challenges while continuing to deliver results. We’ll share key insights on what’s working, where there’s room to grow, and emerging behavior-based energy efficiency programs that utilities can adopt to drive even more savings and benefits.

Speaker: Dr. Reuven Sussman
Dr. Sussman leads research on energy efficiency behavior change and health programs. He directs BEAR Hub (Behavior, Energy, Action and Research), co-chairs the BECC conference (Behavior, Energy and Climate Change) and has authored academic papers and book chapters on the psychology of climate change, behavioral interventions to encourage energy efficiency, and the psychological determinants of pro-environmental behavior. Dr. Sussman has been an advisor for organizations, including the G20, that implement energy efficiency behavior change programs, and has testified before the California legislature and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. He has also served as an expert reviewer for academic journals and large-scale government grant opportunities. Reuven is an adjunct professor and member of the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Victoria (Canada) and sits on the editorial board of the Journal of Environmental Psychology and Journal of Social Psychology. Dr. Sussman earned a doctor of science in social and environmental psychology from the University of Victoria.
Lessons Learned
1. Learning the current benefits of home energy reports
2. Learning how home energy report can be improved to get even more benefits
3. Learning about the need for a balanced utility energy efficiency portfolio and the role of home energy reports in that portfolio
4. Learning about other behavior-based energy efficiency programs
