In this paper we propose a framework which categorizes energy efficiency barriers based on the stage at which the barriers exist. Inspired by systems thinking, the proposed framework has four stages, namely, motivation, capability, implementation and results, as well as a feedback loop. Using a...

This paper investigates the main barriers to energy efficiency in Singapore-based industries. We first built a theoretical framework based on the Motivation, Opportunity, and Ability (MOA) theory, which is a novel perspective for an energy-related study. To enhance this theoretical framework, we...
