TL;DR: This article applied the insights of social practice theory to the study of proenvironmental behavior change through an ethnographic case study (nine months of participant observation and 38 semi-semi-experiments).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored how UK householders interacted with feedback on their domestic energy consumption in a field trial of real-time displays or smart energy monitors, and identified significant implications for future research and policy in this area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an in-depth analysis of intermediary work in the UK community energy sector and find that intermediaries adopt a variety of methods to try and diffuse generic lessons about context-specific projects, but that trying to coordinate support for local projects that exist amidst very different social and political circumstances is challenging.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on how, over a 12-month period, UK householders interacted with feedback on their domestic electricity consumption in a field trial of real-time displays or smart energy monitors.

TL;DR: This paper examined the extent and nature of interactions and resource flows between projects and intermediary actors in order to evaluate the utility of niche theories in the civil society context, and discussed the implications of their findings for community energy and other grass-root practitioners aiming to build robust influential niches, and for policymakers.
