Regarding the impact of age of energy consumers (or energy technology adopters), education, minority and other socio demographic variables, most studies again have been conducted on residential energy consumption. Lindén et al. (2006) find that younger people have better knowledge about energy- efficient measures, and Carlsson- Kanyama et al. (2005) find that younger households tend to prefer up- to- date technology, and that lower uptake of energy- efficient technology by older people may correlate with older people fewer years of formal education.
