Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Consumption: The Rebound Effect: Energy, Climate and the Environment

Editat de H. Herring, S. Sorrell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 noi 2008
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.
