- W998278268 abstract "Energy efficient home renovations are commonly understood as being (i) the result of a deliberative, intentional decision, which is (ii) motivated by comfort outcomes and energy cost savings, but which is (iii) constrained by financial and market barriers. In this paper, we argue for this broadly rational view of renovation decisions to be reframed as a decision process that unfolds over time and is situated within the conditions of domestic life. Based on evidence from a series of interviews with homeowners both prior to and following major home renovations, we find that renovation decisions take shape and emerge from the background conditions of everyday domestic life. We propose six conditions which are relevant to the emergence of renovation decisions. The conditions range from balancing competing commitments to the physicality of living. Each condition is grounded in social science research into home making, domestication, and domestic practice. We then set out how each of the six conditions can be empirically substantiated, both qualitatively using methods such as interviews, and quantitatively using methods such as questionnaires. Drawing on the results of a nationally representative UK homeowner survey (n=1028), we test both our measurement approach and the ability of these six conditions of domestic life to explain why some homeowners decide to renovate whereas others do not. We contrast homeowners who are not considering renovations with homeowners who are thinking about, planning, or in the middle of renovating. For those homeowners considering renovations, we contrast those considering energy efficient renovations with those considering amenity (e.g., kitchen) renovations. We find that the conditions of domestic life which give rise to renovation decisions are broadly consistent across both amenity and efficiency renovations. We also find a number of conditions differ significantly between renovators and nonrenovators. Homeowners considering renovations are more likely to (i) find differences between their and others’ homes unsettling, (ii) face competing commitments at home, particularly if associated with new things going on in the lives of household members, (iii) find ideas and inspiration for the home from external sources, and (iv) share and transmit information about renovations. Our findings support an overall picture of energy efficient renovations as an adaptive response to competing commitments within the home." @default.
