From trial runs to tough times: How experimentation in a Living Lab setting can build household energy resilience
Living Labs have emerged in the 2000s as experimental settings where diverse actors collectively produce knowledge on transforming aspects of everyday life, including everyday practices. However, Living Labs are often short term, and research on their lasting effects is limited. This article investigates how participation in Living Labs focusing on sustainable heating and laundry practices contributed to the development of household resilience, w…
Institutional logics as an object of change: The Experiences of a Water Organization Using Design Thinking for Climate Adaptation in a Multi-Stakeholder Process
In the search for solutions to complex challenges posed by climate change and sustainability transitions, organizations often turn to innovative approaches and new cognitive frames. Particularly in the public sector, however, entrenched institutional logics often impede progress toward novel solutions. This paper explores how a public organization in the Dutch water sector navigates competing and sometimes conflicting frames and institutional log…
The influence of disruptive events on energy-related household practices: Results of a longitudinal study in the Netherlands
Inertia and resistance to change in multi-actor innovation processes – Evidence from two cases in the Netherlands
Existing transitions literature often highlights successful experiments for changing practices through multi-actor processes but overlooks the challenges of adjusting incumbent practices and engaging actors in reflexive learning. The current article addresses this gap through two qualitative case studies of water-related co-creation processes in the Netherlands. Each case met inertia and resistance from various actors in different forms. We exami…
Crossing multiple solar energy gaps: A Dutch case study on intermediation for building-integrated photovoltaics
Building-integrated photovoltaics are a promising technology to enhance renewable energy production in the built environment while improving the aesthetics of buildings at the same time. Several challenges hinder this technology's uptake, such as information asymmetry and limited value chain coordination. Prior work demonstrates that the support of intermediaries can play a crucial role in coping with these challenges, but this aspect has not yet…
Justice in social housing: Towards a people-centred energy renovation process
The annual renovation rate of the existing housing stock must increase rapidly to reach climate neutrality by 2050. This transition will require major investments but will also need to be affordable for everyone. Affordability is especially relevant for vulnerable and low-income households, many of which live in social housing in the Netherlands. Previous studies show that such a transition faces justice issues but this paper argues that a more p…
Challenging social norms to recraft practices: A Living Lab approach to reducing household energy use in eight European countries
ENERGISE is the first large-scale European effort to reduce household energy use through a change initiative that adopted a ‘living lab’ approach informed by social practice theory. Two challenges were introduced to 306 households in eight countries: to lower indoor temperatures and to reduce laundry cycles. This contribution demonstrates the usefulness of a practice-centered design that takes habits and routines as an entry point for understandi…
