July 21, 2026: Human Insights 101: What do the behavioral and social sciences have to do with building decarbonization?

'Buildings Don’t Decarbonize Themselves, People Do’ is a Clean Energy Transition Institute webinar series highlighting how the social and behavioral sciences are essential to achieving building decarbonization goals.

The first webinar in the series provided a broad view of behavioral science theories and methods and how they are relevant to building decarbonization. The session also dug into residential electrification decision making and how behavioral science can enhance electrification efforts across the customer journey.
