This is a definitive guide to the rebound effect in home heating ndash; the increase in energy service use after a technological intervention aimed at reducing consumption. It sets out what the effect is; how it plays out in the home heating sector; what this implies for energy saving initiatives in this sector; and how it relates to rebound effects in other sectors. The book outlines how the concept of the rebound effect has been developed and the scope of research on it; both generally and particularly in the home heating sector. Within the context of energy and CO2 emissions policy; it summarises the empirical evidence; exploring its causes and the attempts that are being made to mitigate it. Various definitions of the rebound effect are considered; in particular the idea of the effect as an energy-efficiency lsquo;elasticityrsquo;. The book shows how this definition can be rigorously applied to thermal retrofits; and to national consumption data; to give logically consistent rebound effect results that can be coherently compared with those of other sectors; and allow policy makers to have more confidence in the predictions about potential energy savings.?

Here s to Brando.By MichaelA brief glimpse of acting genius. An artist with compasion for others as well. His influence is still being felt 60 yrs. later. While described as difficult at times; there was also loyalty;and curiosity. Patricia Bosworth does a good turn with the Brando legend.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
