Description
This guide to the rebound effect in home heating provides a comprehensive overview of this phenomenon and its implications for energy saving initiatives. The author explores how technological interventions aimed at reducing consumption can lead to an increase in energy service use, known as the rebound effect.
The book examines the concept of the rebound effect in detail, including its causes, empirical evidence, and attempts to mitigate it. It also discusses various definitions of the rebound effect and how they can be applied to thermal retrofits and national consumption data.
By providing a rigorous analysis of the rebound effect in home heating, this guide offers policymakers and practitioners valuable insights into energy efficiency initiatives and CO2 emissions policy. The book's findings are essential for those seeking to develop more effective strategies for reducing energy consumption and mitigating climate change.
