Honeywell is partnering with Warwick Universwity in an 18-month programme to develop proven best practices for energy reduction through long-term changes in human behaviour.

Under the project, a PhD graduate student from Warwick University will work with Honeywell Building Solutions and its customers over an 18-month period to design, develop and test behaviour change triggers, and to identify those most effective to be incorporated into commercial energy efficiency programmes to drive reduction in energy consumption.

Professor David Elmes, head of the Warwick Business School (WBS) global energy research network and Daniel Read, professor of behavioural science, will supervise the research, supported by Honeywell Building Solutions, the Technology Strategy Board and the Economic and Social Research Council.
