摘要

This paper examines the effectiveness of intermittent behavioral interventions in promoting residential energy conservation, focusing on the reintroduction of social comparison feedback after a prolonged pause. Using data from a field experiment in Yerevan, Armenia, we analyze the short-term and sustained impacts of social norm feedback on residential electricity consumption. Reductions are more pronounced during off-peak seasons and vary significantly based on household energy characteristics, both during the pause and active phases of treatment. Our findings demonstrate that intermittent interventions can sustain significant conservation effects and offer a cost-effective alternative to continuous treatments, providing valuable insights for sustainable energy policies and conservation programs.
