Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Consumption

The Rebound Effect

Herausgegeben: Herring, H.; Sorrell, S.

Beschreibung

This book challenges conventional wisdom by showing how, in some circumstances, improved energy efficiency may increase energy consumption. Relying upon energy efficiency to reduce carbon emissions could therefore be misguided. This book explores the broader implications for climate change and sustainable consumption.
