Abstract
This study aims to better understand the components of energy efficiency project systems and the decision factors influencing the adoption of energy efficiency projects in Indonesia. This study utilizes qualitative data analysis using content analysis on semi-structured interview transcripts. The variables identified are modeled in systemigram and causal loop diagrams to provide the components of the system and to illustrate the interrelationship of the decision factors based on the grounded theory approach. The study generates the system's components illustration explaining the stakeholders, policies, structures, activities, and resources that create the systems. Furthermore, the study found 32 decision factors modeled in the causal loop diagram and showed three dominant factors influencing the EE project adoption. Those are the organizational commitment, financial resources, and technical drivers.

Funder
The CLD shows organization commitment as a driving force toward EE project adoption. The organization's commitment is affected by economic incentives, community support provision, the stakeholders' awareness of the importance of EE project adoption, and industry pressure. Another key finding is that the more accessible funding available, the more EE adoption can be implemented without sacrificing the other priority projects and even improving the quality of the EE project implementation. However, the accessible funding itself is influenced by the availability of funding resources and the complexity of the funding mechanism and financial barriers owned by the project owners and contractors. Finally, technical/systems barriers were due to low government support for the systems of EE project facilitation. Hence, less integration of the stakeholders involved leads to a lack of collaboration practices. Technical barriers also increase the payback period of the project investment due to the high cost of the current technology and inefficient processes, which is due to a lack of support for the technical aspect.
