Abstract

Australia is the highest per capita emitter of carbon dioxide in the world, therefore improving energy conservation efforts is important to Australia~s economic, social and environmental wellbeing. The use of Social Marketing as an intervention mechanism provides a means of affecting the required societal paradigm shift to enhance energy conservation. This paper focuses on the application of market segmentation to social marketing as a potential motivator to electricity conservation efforts in the context of residential New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
