Human behavior in household energy use and the implications of energy efficiency delivery: a case of Nigeria

Although the term energy efficiency is technologically focused it has a behavioral content due to the associated energy conservation practice involved. The technology aspect applies essentially to the application of new or better technology in order to derive some output or level of service for less...
