Abstract

Energy efficiency is one of the most effective means for achieving sustainability goals, yet its adoption, particularly in electric motor systems, remains limited. Insights into the dynamics between contextual elements and efficiency measures can lead to more informed decision‐making. This paper presents a framework to explore the role of context in adopting these measures from the perspective of industrial decision‐makers, considering both broader business settings and specific applications. The framework is validated through a comprehensive literature review and empirical investigation using semistructured interviews with experts in electric motor systems. The investigation indicates that context impacts both the characterization of an efficiency measure and its effects on company resources and operations. Crucial contextual characteristics, such as company size and process centrality, emerged as key factors in adopting energy efficiency measures in electric motor systems.
