S

ScientiStS are now more certain than ever
that humans are responsible for climate change through the
combustion of fossil fuels. a recent Global energy assessment report, compiled by the international institute for
applied Systems analysis, indicates that, globally, domestic
energy consumption accounts for about a quarter of global
greenhouse gas emissions. a fundamental shift in energy
consumption is needed, moving away from the use of fossil
fuels to meet emission reduction targets.
energy consumers can make important contributions to
reducing emissions by adopting efficiency and curtailment

behaviors. efficiency behaviors are actions or measures that
result in less energy being used for a given level of energy
service (e.g., insulating a building and installing light-emitting diode bulbs). curtailment behaviors are actions that
result in less energy service (e.g., lowering thermostat settings and switching off lights). efficiency behaviors typically
involve the one-off purchase and installation of an appliance or device and imply a financial cost (e.g., home retrofits
and energy-efficient appliances), whereas energy curtailment
behaviors tend to be low or no cost but need to be done
frequently to achieve energy savings (e.g., the previously
