dc.description.abstractThe rapid increase of energy consumption for socioeconomic activities has been the main source of the constant rise of greenhouse gases emission, which causes global warming and climate change effects. Several factors including knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour have been reported elsewhere to influence the energy consumption rate globally. To assess the influence of these factors, some theories, models, and approaches were reviewed to provide a theoretical and conceptual framework on the influence of human knowledge, attitudes and behaviours on energy use and saving. This study assessed some parameters including, awareness, motivation factors, moral and normative concerns, environmental norms, knowledge concerns, technology adoption concerns, and contextual factors and habits. This study conducted a comprehensive literature review followed by Seven-Step Model on studies related to this work. This review work found that behavioural change is significant to address the challenges facing humanity in utilizing natural resources including energy. Also, energy consumption efficiency needs multidisciplinary and sectoral approaches. In energy-saving, individuals need to be informed on the new technologies, energy sources, production and use.en_US
