Abstract

Although there are numerous possibilities to save energy, conservation
initiatives often do not tailor their content to the consumer. By considering
energy conservation as a one-dimensional construct, where different behaviors
have different execution difficulties, we have set out a Rasch-based energy
recommender system that provides tailored conservation advice to its users.
Through an online choice experiment among 196 users, we found that users
prefer energy-saving measures that fit their Rasch-profile, rather than ones that
fit their conservation attitude.
