| Abstract: | The global energy transition is a complex challenge that re- quires innovative research approaches. Understanding individual decision- making is crucial, as local investment decisions and the operation of such acquired assets will shape the future energy system. Agent-based models (ABMs) are widely used to simulate individual energy behaviors and in- teractions. In this paper, we adopt a Consumer Choice Framework[1]—a metamodel that provides an abstract reference architecture for integrat- ing psychological, social, and economic dimensions of energy behaviors. This metamodel is designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration by offering a shared language across research domains. We validate it by mapping it to three existing ABMs, demonstrating its value as a shared reference framework. |
