17 LITERATURE REVIEW Nagesha and Balachandra (2006) found that Financial & Economic barrier was the top barrier group followed by Behavioral & Personal barrier in the SSI sector. Patrick Thollander et al (2013) driving forces were found to be financially related followed by organizational driving forces. EC potential - 7.5%.

18 Somashekar and Nagesha (2010) -10 factors influencing domestic household energy consumption in India using FA Gunther Ellwanger (UIC, 2013) Average external cost of transport per passenger (in Euros per 1000 km) was least for Rail. The results in Euros per 1000 km for others are; Car – 72, Aviation 52, Bus 32, and Rail -18.

19 Jenny Palm and Patrik Thollander (2010) Cost effective EETs - lack of information, procedural impediments and routines not favouring energy efficiency. (LCC) Weber (1997), consumption belongs to the realm of technology but EC to the realm of society. Social factors are relevant, in addition to technology. Baranzi and Giovannini (1996) link energy consumption to four major factors viz. technological, economic and financial, institutional and cultural.

20 METHODOLOGY Drivers – 7 drivers identified. Forced ranking methodology was adopted using the weighted average method. Barriers – 25 variables, Factor analysis was applied using SPSS software version 20.

21 BARRIERS- FACTOR ANALYSIS SAMPLE & POPULATION Total -124 respondents 5 Point Likert Scale 25 variables, UBLS has 235 supervising engineers and seven technical officers MYSS has 157 supervising engineers and six technical officers 82 from UBLS and 42 from MYSS Sample - 34 % of population at UBLS Sample - 26 % population at MYSS.

24 Factor Analysis Multivariate Statistical approach to analyze interrelationships among variable Common dimensions/factors/components Data reduction Sample adequacy – 100 acceptable ( Min 50) Overall Significance of Correlation matrix – KMO & Bartlett test

25 Kaiser Meyer Olkin (KMO) & Bartlett’s test for sphericity Compares the magnitude of observed correlation coefficients with the magnitude of partial correlation coefficient. Higher the better correlation between variables can be explained by other variables. The Bartlett’s test of sphericity takes the determinant of the correlation matrix into consideration. KMO value for the combined responses at 0.770 (should be > 0.50), Bartlett’s test for sphericity - 0.000 level (Should be < 0.05) Meeting the requirements.

26 PCA methodology Searches for the weight or factor score coefficient so that the first factor explains the largest population of variance. This explained variance is subtracted from the original input matrix so as to yield a residual matrix. A second principal factor is extracted from the residual matrix in such a way that the second takes care of most of the residual variance and so on, and this procedure is repeated until there is a very little variance to be explained.

27 Factor loading Correlation coefficient between the factor score and variable is called factor loading. Factor loadings are used to compute Eigen values for each factor and the communalities of each variable. For the interpretation of factor, the factor loading matrix is rotated. The main purpose of rotation is to bring the smallest loadings close to zero and its largest loading towards unity. Varimax method for rotation. After completing the rotation, a cut off point for factor loading is selected. > 0.5, and the same is adopted Thus, variables with a loading of > 0.5 naming the factor appropriately.
