Various innovations have reached a mature state, but they diffuse slowly. The aim of our research is to propose the model of innovation diffusion for energy efficiency solutions in households. The methodology used combines empirical study with system dynamics modelling. As the case study light emitting diodes (LEDs) is studied. Although the system dynamics model was based on the one specific innovation diffusion process, its general application to other products and services is possible, since the developed model is white-box and can be used for further research of other processes.
