englischThis study shows that something commonplace, like heating in private households, is a complex social phenomenon. Technological developments, such as passive houses and smart heating controls, can only have their maximum effect on energy savings if they are socially adapted. How technology and action can be thought of together is explained in this work. It thus makes a contribution to social science climate research. Using the example of domestic heating, it conveys the theoretical and analytical efficiency of the practice approach and shows that this approach has great potential in investigating processes of change in social practices. For those who deal with the topic of heating or other forms of everyday energy consumption and its (political) framework conditions from a practical point of view, there are numerous hints as to how the complexity of everyday life can be addressed in practice.
