SUSSTAIN brings the human component to energy efficiency

By Shanna Edberg
December 10, 2015

Screen Shot 2015-12-03 at 12.54.39 PMSUSSTAIN, which stands for Sustainability Utilizing Social Science Theory: An Interdisciplinary Network, is “an interdisciplinary, multi-institution network with diverse analytic skills” which “seeks to demonstrate how insights from the behavioral and social sciences can be put to work on energy consumption challenges in real-world applications…in order to facilitate progress toward energy efficiency.” Their work is aimed at mitigating climate change through energy efficiency in electric grids and infrastructure, recognizing that there is a large human component to the adoption of new energy technology.

This post is part of a series on organizations and leaders who engage in ​multisolving, or climate-smart policies that simultaneously work to mitigate climate change while providing co-benefits such as the ones described above.
