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

Download or read book Energy Efficiency in Housing written by Malcolm Bell and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book with a broad agenda which draws together a considerable body of current knowledge from related but discrete disciplines in one compact and readable volume. It is particularly gratifying to find problems of acute fuel poverty within existing thermally sub-standard mass housing addressed alongside prospects for new-build housing, as well as existing dwellings where thermal comfort is already affordable. In the first case, measures to introduce energy efficiency promise much improved comfort and well-being for the occupants, but little, if any, energy saving; whereas in the second and third cases, good design can offer significant savings in fuel and CO2 output with quite short pay-back periods. The authors grasp this nettle firmly, devoting a chapter to energy poverty and health, as well as placing this in the context of global changes in climate, conservation technologies, structures of ownership, land-use planning and what is termed "the behavioral dimension." The scope of the book is wide and the order of content is well structured. There are many useful references, and it is a useful addition to the shelves of anyone operating in the housing and energy-efficiency arena.
