This is one innovative way of addressing the very problems which the Green Heating Quest seeks to highlight. Develop strategies for buyers to compare costs and benefits of different energy options such as gas, electricity and wood. Carry out a market analysis of domestic space and water heating in Australia. Graphically present a concept for selling green technology to the community using film or art mediums. Social Sciences People's perceptions, preferences and options for warmth vary greatly.
Some people expect to be able to wear the same clothes inside in winter or summer.
Some prefer a point source such as an open fire place to central heating. Rented houses are often poorly heated and the people who live in them have less options for keeping warm than home owners. Much of our approach to heating is determined by who we are, where we live and our perceptions of the cold. The adoption of greener forms of heating will require a far better understanding of people's heating needs and behaviours. Examine how much hot water people could do without by comparing hot water use across different climates or countries.
