Household energy use relates to our socio-cultural identity, our socio-economic status and the socio-cultural and material contexts in which we live. Around the world, households experienced dramatic changes in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the drastic increase of energy prices following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Habits and routines were disrupted, reinterpreted, reorganized and renegotiated, albeit under constraints and in most cases involuntarily. This paper analyses how the practice of ‘keeping warm’ responds to disruptive events ranging from a small-scale and short-lived experiment to much more drastic and far-reaching geopolitical events. Following an initial study challenging households to reduce temperatures inside their homes during October/November 2018, the same households were revisited for follow-up questioning two and a half years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe and six months after the attack of Russian armed forces on Ukraine. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected before, during, and three months as well as three years after the original ‘heating challenge’. The final follow-up survey took place in August 2022 and turned the initial short-lived Living Lab-based experiment into a longitudinal study.

破坏性事件对能源相关家庭实践的影响：荷兰的一项纵向研究结果


家庭能源使用与我们的社会文化身份、社会经济地位以及我们生活的社会文化和物质环境有关。鉴于 COVID-19 大流行和俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后能源价格的急剧上涨，世界各地的家庭都经历了巨大的变化。习惯和例行公事被打乱、重新解释、重组和重新协商，尽管受到限制，而且在大多数情况下是非自愿的。本文分析了“保暖”做法如何应对破坏性事件，从小规模和短暂的实验到更剧烈和影响更深远的地缘政治事件。在 2018 年 10 月/11 月期间要求家庭降低室内温度的初步研究之后，在欧洲 COVID-19 大流行开始两年半后和俄罗斯武装部队袭击乌克兰六个月后，对相同的家庭进行了重新访问以进行后续调查。在最初的 “加热激发 ”之前、期间、三个月以及之后的三年收集了定量和定性数据。最终的后续调查于 2022 年 8 月进行，将最初短暂的基于 Living Lab 的实验变成了一项纵向研究。
