Local and global messages for prompting energy conservation behaviour: an experimental study in university

To create a cost effective environment during the management of building facilities, energy conservation is important among building users as it can help to conserve energy and reduce energy cost. To promote energy conservation, the behavior of user should be focused where their behavior should be i...

The aim of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of prompt in prompting energy conservation behavior among the building users in university.
