Low carbon behaviours in office buildings and the behaviours’ activation attributes

Operational carbon emissions from buildings are well known to be one of the prominent contributors to Greenhouse gases (GHG). One of the solutions to reduce operational carbon emissions of buildings is to have occupants with low carbon behaviour (LCB). However, a number of initiatives and research t...
