Abstract
This paper reviews the impacts of user behavior, dwelling characteristics, and social networks on energy savings within the UK housing sector. The study highlights the role of strategic energy planning, emphasising stakeholder engagement and the potential of social networks to influence energy-saving practices. It shows that integrating behavioral insights with architectural design is beneficial to enhancing energy use efficiency and reducing energy cost. By examining the interplay between human behavior and technology, a holistic approach to energy conservation is advocated integrating technological innovations and social impacts that drive sustainable energy usage.
