Energy sufficiency in buildings. Concept paper
May 2019 [eceee concept papers]
Concept paper on energy sufficiency in buildings. As part of this project, researchers at Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy explore the issue of energy sufficiency in buildings and ways forward.
Energy sufficiency and rebound effects. Concept paper
Nov 2018 [eceee concept papers, Overview & framework, Potentials & modelling]
Managing the rebound effect. This concept paper discusses how energy sufficiency and the rebound effect interact. Rebound effects can constrain the energy savings from energy efficiency improvements. The paper examines the nature of these effects, and ask the question: can greater use of sufficiency policies and actions help to tackle negative rebounds, or will it create rebounds itself?
Energy sufficiency in products. Concept paper
Nov 2018 [eceee concept papers, Product policy]
How can energy sufficiency be practically applied in product policy, such as ecodesign and energy labelling? This report discusses this while asking if progressive efficiency is enough or if we need to go further to limit energy use.
Energy sufficiency: an introduction
Oct 2018 [eceee concept papers, Overview & framework]
Concept paper serving as an introduction to the energy sufficiency concept. As part of this project, researchers at Oxford University have developed the ‘energy sufficiency doughnut’ – a picture showing what we mean by energy sufficiency.
