Development and Application of an Interdisciplinary Framework for Building Energy-Efficient Heating Behaviour

Description

This dataset documents a study conducted with eight occupants divided into two families, as part of research exploring informative interventions and behavioral changes related to domestic heating use. The main objective of the study was to identify the most relevant informative interventions and to understand their impact: - on the psychological and contextual factors involved in behavioral change processes, - on heating-related behaviors themselves, - and on energy consumption during the intervention period. Two semi-structured interviews were conducted with each participant: 1. A first interview, carried out before the intervention, to identify needs, constraints, and potential drivers for change. 2. A second interview, conducted during or after the intervention, to assess the perceived impact and any behavioral or attitudinal changes. The dataset includes: - the interview scripts, - the data dictionary, - and the anonymized results for each participant, all provided in both French (original language) and English (translation). It also contains the full set of informative interventions, presented as personalized dashboards that each occupant received during the intervention period (in their original French version). These dashboards were designed to provide individualized feedback on heating usage, comfort levels, and energy consumption trends, supporting self-awareness and behavioral adjustment.
