Energy at Home

The energy at home dataset is a labor of love resulting from a field-based case study showcased in "Oh, Give Me a Home, Where the Innovations Roam," a chapter in Morals in Transition: Imaginaries and American National Identity Through Three Energy Transitions.

Conducted over the course of six months (January 2017-June 2017) and covering 84 unique sites, this dataset is one of the first comprehensive treatments of user-experience analysis analysis of energy efficiency marketing and science communication in new home builds.
