A field experiment compared the effects of daily electronic feedback with monthly external feedback and with self-monitoring of energy use. With daily feedback, a 12.3 percent reduction in natural gas use was achieved, more than in the other conditions and more than the stated 10 percent conservation goal. One year after the experiment, energy use remained reduced relative to the baseline in all groups; however, differences between the experimental conditions were no longer significant.
