The problems and solutions of predicting participation in energy efficiency programs

Davis, Alexander L.; Krishnamurti, Tamar - In: Applied Energy 111 (2013) C, pp. 277-287

This paper discusses volunteer bias in residential energy efficiency studies. We briefly evaluate the bias in existing studies. We then show how volunteer bias can be corrected when not avoidable, using an on-line study of intentions to enroll in an in-home display trial as an example. We found...
