Background
Dr. Lőrincz’s research addresses questions on residential energy consumption behaviour and associated environmental impacts.
In his research, he investigates the implications of institutional organisations on residential energy demand, as well as the impact of smart technologies on residential energy consumption.
His work has been applied to issues of energy demand-side management and smart building control systems.
