Given the aim to motivate people to conserve energy in their homes, we need to understand what drives people’s energy use behavior and how it can be influenced. This article describes applied energy-conservation campaigns at two U.S. military installations where residents do not pay their own utility bills. Customized approaches were designed for each installation based on a broad social-psychological model. Before-and-after energy use was measured and residents were surveyed about their end-use behaviors. Residents said they were motivated by the desire to do the right thing, set a good example for their children, and have a comfortable home. For sustained change, respondents recommended continued awareness and education, disincentives, and incentives. Findings show support for some aspects of a social-psychological model, with emphasis on altruistic as well as egoistic motives for behavioral change. These studies may have implications for other situations where residents are not billed for individual energy use, including other government-subsidized facilities, master-metered apartments, and university dormitories.
