A series of DECC 'What Works' Evidence Summaries - Lot 2: What works in increasing take-up of low carbon products and services in small, medium and large organisations?

DECC was looking for contractors to undertake a series of 6 reviews, summarising what we know about ‘what works’ across 6 topic areas. The aim was to synthesise published and unpublished findings from across DECC’s monitoring, research and evaluation work, linking this with externally published research and evaluation work to provide the most up-to-date and user-friendly summary of our evidence base. These syntheses will then be used to inform DECC’s policy development, and in evidence briefing for the next parliament.

• b.What works in driving organisational behaviour change towards more energy-conscious and energy-efficient decision-making?

We are particularly interested in understanding take up across different non-domestic sectors. The interventions we are particularly interested in looking at include (but are not limited to): financial and non-financial incentives, information, and regulation.
