A Statistical Mechanics Approach to the Study of Energy Use Behaviour

الملخص EN

This paper proposes a statistical mechanical model for the energy conservation behaviour of energy users.

The model was inspired by the multipopulation Curie-Weiss model and the discrete choice with social interaction model.

We demonstrate that the model integrates the sociopsychological, the economic, and the energy technologist viewpoints to energy management, allowing us to subject these perspectives to an empirical study.
