Abstract
Energy conservation is a critical global concern aligned with Sustainable Development Goals on affordable and clean energy, responsible consumption and production, and climate action. This study examined the energy conservation practices of households in Ilocos Norte, identified the challenges they face, and explored opportunities for improvement. A convergent parallel mixedmethods design was employed, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative focus group discussions and interviews to gather comprehensive data. The findings revealed that while households demonstrate some awareness and engagement in energy-saving behaviors, these practices are inconsistent and hindered by challenges such as limited knowledge, financial and technological barriers, behavioral resistance, and environmental factors.
Keywords: Energy conservation, Sustainable Development Goals, Renewable energy
