Our distinctive approach

The DEMAND centre’s research is based on a series of core propositions:

  • that energy demand is an outcome of social practices,
  • that such practices are shaped by institutions and infrastructures and
  • that these arrangements reproduce historically and culturally specific interpretations of need and entitlement.

This DEMAND video captures some of the main insights and ideas about the work of the Centre from our team of researchers.

Here you can find a short presentation of our approach and other materials outlining the centre’s work.
