| Results and Impact | As part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science we invited local government, local authority and representatives to attend presentations that highlighted important findings in our energy efficiency research. Presentations were also made by Scottish Government, presenting key results from a paper written with Dr Karen Turner that looks specifically at the commercial transport sector in the Scottish Economy. The last presentation of the day was made by Richard Bellingham who presented on 'attitudes to energy'. Presentation took place at Atlantic Quay, Scottish Government Office, Glasgow. |
