How to change a culture? Increase the price for electricity and inform people that there are cheaper alternatives (like properly insulating/designing houses instead of air-conditioning/electric heating). Give them a bonus, e.g. lend them money at 0% interest if they build to energy-saving standards. There are a lot of possibilities...
