The main results from eCAPE are a deeper understanding of inequality in relation to gender and socioeconomics within the green transition of the energy system. Furthermore, eCAPE strongly contributed to questions related to how ethical consumption takes part in forming these energy consuming everyday practices, and how both the ethical consumption and the inequality can be understood within theories of practices. The projects results have been reported in (so far) 30 published scientific papers, all open access. The majorities of these being empirically based, whereas three papers are theoretical contributions. Empirical work can be divided into work focusing on residential heating comfort, on flexible electricity consumption, on gender and energy, on smart home technology, and on ethical consumption.
Results were disseminated through international journal publications and conference presentations. Dissemination to the wider society include direct contact to press and press release, resulting in articles in national newspapers as well as in a specialist journal for engineers. Also, presentations from the PI at various professional and public events has been part of the dissemination of results to the public and to professional networks within construction and energy.
The project lasted 6½ year, including 1½ year extensions due to difficulties during Covid-19 period and due to data issues. Two PhD student has finalized their thesis as part of the project, two postdoc students has been employed and one of them continued as assistant professor. Furthermore 4 senior researchers from my research group have helped me perform different investigations relying empirically on both quantitative and qualitative data.
