“…Showering times were statistically significantly different during weekdays compared to 23 weekends for five of the homes at a 99% confidence level (Table 4). There is also a higher σ 24 value during the weekend for the time that showers are taken than for weekday showering (Table 25 6 and Figure 4).…”

“…These practices are all 15 connected in the home SOP. This section will explore interlocking practices in the SOP by discussing the practices of 23 personal showering and garden hand watering. The time of shower and the habituality and routine nature of the practice (reflected in the σ 2 values in Table 6), are influenced by other interlocked practices in the system.…”

“…Detailed quantitative and qualitative data collected over one year were used to analyse resource 23 intensive practices in eight Australian homes in order to provide a holistic insight into the home 24 SOP and understand what is required to enable effective resource savings. Results revealed that 25 practices are performed in a sequential temporal spectrum as part of a routine and are influenced 26 by interlocked practices as well as the routine of other home occupants.…”

1Policy and regulations for residential houses often consider the physical system alone and tend to 2 focus on the energy performance of the building. This ignores the effect of occupants' everyday 3 practices and their interaction with the building technologies. This research applies practice 4 theory and the concept of system of practice to eight Australian homes with the objectives of 5 providing a deeper understanding of the complexities of the home system as well as providing 6 approaches to enable (rather than persuade) resource reduction. The homes were investigated 7 through explanatory design mixed methods which combined results of one year of longitudinal 8 quantitative data collection and home occupant interviews. The results revealed that practices are 9 performed in a sequential temporal spectrum as part of a routine and are influenced by 10 interlocked practices as well as interlocking routines from other home occupants. Practices also 11 follow established daily patterns reflected by a frequency distribution curve where the standard 12 deviation reflects the degree of habituality of the practice. Highly interlocked practices with a 13 high degree of habituality are challenging to affect. However, automation could enable resource 14 intensive activities to be dis-interlocked from an established routine and make change within the 15 home system of practice easier and more flexible. 16

“…The success of innovative technology is dependent on user knowledge and can be hindered by rebound effects. However, the implementation of practice-based design and co-creation is a contemporary approach which ensures that users not only take part in the design of a technology that is needed in the long-term, but also understand its function [116][117][118][119].…”

Understanding Resource Consumption in the Home, Community and Society through Behaviour and Social Practice Theories

The practices and behaviours of individuals influences resource consumption at many scales and are shaped by a multitude of psychological, social, and technical factors. This conceptual paper examines the differences between socio-psychological and social practice theories, building on the Chalk and Cheese debate in the literature. Insight is provided into their potential value in understanding resource consumption studies at different scales: the individual, the home, community, and societal. Each theory has its own qualitative and quantitative methods which allude to different conclusions and recommendations for resource consumption initiatives. We review the debate surrounding the application of both theories, adding our voice to the potential for both theories to be used at different scales and for different time periods, along with comments on the interlocking nature of practices. Design and technology changes can lead to quicker changes in behaviour and practices, whereby socio-psychological theories offer insights into changes in mind frame, values, and social norms.
