Download or read book An Ethnography of Household Energy Demand in the UK written by Roxana Moroşanu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the ways we think about human agency by looking at the creativity, ethics, and capacities for social transformation that are embedded in simple actions of “doing”. Stemming from ethnographic research with families in the United Kingdom as part of a wider interdisciplinary project looking at domestic energy demand, this book probes some mundane approaches to time—such as spontaneity, anticipation, and “family time”—and the ways in which they extend ethical imaginations, create new forms of sociality, and engender human agency.
Download or read book Meeting the energy challenge written by Great Britain: Department of Trade and Industry and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-05-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two main energy challenges: tackling climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions; and ensuring clean and affordable energy as the country becomes increasingly dependent on imported fuel. These challenges have to be met against the backdrop of rising fossil fuel prices; slower than anticipated liberalisation of the EU energy markets; heightened awareness of the risk arising from remaining oil and gas reserves being concentrated in a few geographical regions; and a need for substantial new investment in power stations, the electricity grid and gas infrastructure. This White Paper sets out the Governments international and domestic strategy to address these challenges and ways to implement the Energy Review of 2006 and the 2006 Pre-Budget Report. There is a separate consultation document on nuclear power.
Download or read book Energy Justice in a Changing Climate written by Karen Bickerstaff and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy justice is one of the most critical, and yet least developed, concepts associated with sustainability. Much has been written about the sustainability of low-carbon energy systems and policies - with an emphasis on environmental, economic and geopolitical issues. However, less attention has been directed at the social and equity implications of these dynamic relations between energy and low-carbon objectives - the complexity of injustice associated with whole energy systems (from extractive industries, through to consumption and waste) that transcend national boundaries and the social, political-economic and material processes driving the experience of energy injustice and vulnerability. Drawing on a substantial body of original research from an international collaboration of experts this unique collection addresses energy poverty, just innovation, aesthetic justice and the justice implications of low-carbon energy systems and technologies. The book offers new thinking on how interactions between climate change, energy policy, and equity and social justice can be understood and develops a critical agenda for energy justice research.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Programmes to improve household energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption cost taxpayers and householders around GBP 2.6 billion a year. The long-term growth in household energy consumption is beginning to reverse but greater efforts will be needed to maintain this improvement.
Download or read book Programmes to Reduce Household Energy Consumption written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Household energy consumption is responsible for 27 per cent of all UK carbon emissions. Reducing household energy consumption is central to efforts to mitigate climate change and can help decrease poverty by reducing household energy bills. The Government encourages the installation of energy efficiency measures through obligations on energy suppliers and seeks to influence householder behaviour through the provision of information on energy saving measures and the labelling of the energy efficiency of appliances. Building Regulations specify energy efficiency standards for new dwellings. European Union regulations set minimum energy efficiency standards for some appliances, such as fridges and freezers. These programmes cost the UK around £2.6 billion a year. To meet economy-wide energy consumption targets, household energy consumption must fall by 11 per cent by 2010 and by 36 per cent by 2020, compared to 2001-05. Despite a reduction in household energy consumption in the last three years, 2004 to 2007, which followed a long-term trend of rising household energy consumption, household energy consumption was still 8 per cent higher in 2007 than in 1990. Energy consumption may rise again due to trends such as the growth in the number of households, the demand to use more electronic appliances and a desire to live in warmer homes. To offset these upward pressures and achieve further reductions, the key challenges for Government are how to strengthen and improve enforcement of minimum energy efficiency standards for new homes, and how to coordinate and focus government programmes to increase the energy efficiency of existing homes and achieve behaviour change by householders.

Book excerpt: The introduction of micro CHP – the simultaneous production of heat and power in a single building based on small energy conversion units such as Stirling and reciprocating engines or fuel cells – is of increasing political and public interest. This book introduces into micro CHP systems and technologies, and presents the results of the first such investigation carried out by four German research bodies.
Download or read book Energy Demand Challenges in Europe written by Frances Fahy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines the role of citizens in sustainable energy transitions across Europe. It explores energy problem framing, policy approaches and practical responses to the challenge of securing clean, affordable and sustainable energy for all citizens, focusing on households as the main unit of analysis. The book revolves around ten contributions that each summarise national trends, socio-material characteristics, and policy responses to contemporary energy issues affecting householders in different countries, and provides good practice examples for designing and implementing sustainable energy initiatives. Prominent concerns include reducing carbon emissions, energy poverty, sustainable consumption, governance, practices, innovations and sustainable lifestyles. The opening and closing contributions consider European level energy policy, dominant and alternative problem framings and similarities and differences between European countries in relation to reducing household energy use. Overall, the book is a valuable resource for researchers, policy-makers, practitioners and others interested in sustainable energy perspectives

This book was released on 2005-07-15 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee's report examines the contribution that energy efficiency can make towards achieving the Government's objective to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent by 2010, as set out in the Energy White Paper ('Our energy future - creating a low carbon economy', Cm 5761, ISBN 0101576129) published in February 2003. The report examines in detail the practical measures designed to achieve this objective, as outlined in the Government's Energy Efficiency Action Plan (Cm 6168, ISBN 0101616821) published in April 2004. It focuses on the contribution of business and industry, which represents almost a third of total emissions, and of households, which represents almost one quarter (it does not examine the contribution of the transport sector or consider renewable energy issues in detail, as these have been covered in other Select Committee reports). Amongst its findings, the Committee argues that the main objective of energy efficiency should be the reduction of the UK's absolute energy consumption, leading to lower emissions, and proposes a methodology to measure progress towards this objective. Other issues highlighted include: the enormous wastefulness of the electricity generating industry; the need for greater Government clarity and leadership in promoting energy efficiency; and better public education about energy use and its economic and environmental costs.
