The characteristics of energy-efficiency measures – a neglected dimension (2012, background): “Related to the above mentioned barriers is the frequently observed low priority of energy efficiency when EEMs compete with investments in the core business of a firm (Gruber, Brand 1991; Hasanbeigi et al. 2010; Thollander et al. 2007).”
Specific Energy Consumption/Use (SEC) in Energy Management for Improving Energy Efficiency in Industry: Meaning, Usage and Differences (2019, background): “Examples of other industrial companies that have been studied are 27 foundries in Sweden [30], 65 foundries in Europe ([31,32]), 23 iron and steel mills in Sweden [33], 21 industrial companies in Sweden [34], 11 sawmills [18], and 8 manufacturing ﬁrms in Sweden [35].”
Energy management practices in Swedish energy-intensive industries (2010, background): “Previous research has shown that barriers to energy efficiency in the studied sectors such as cost and risk of production disruptions, lack of access to capital/budget funding, lack of time and other priorities, other priorities for capital investments, slim organization, and lack of sub-metering, p”
Adoption of energy-efficiency measures in SMEs—An empirical analysis based on energy audit data from Germany (2012, background): “In this sense, EHISTORY captures the importance of the existence of a long-term strategy for implementing EEMs (e.g. Rohdin et al. 2007; Thollander, Ottosson 2008).”
Environmental Policy Theory Given Bounded Rationality and Other-regarding Preferences (2011, background): “In addition, behavioral anomalies, such as risk aversion, inertia or routines and habits, affect energy use (Rohdin et al. 2007; Wilson and Dowlatabadi 2007).”
Barriers to industrial energy efficiency in foundries: a European comparison (2013, methodology): “For this reason, in our study, starting from the approach proposed by Rohdin et al., we have firstly proposed a substantial list of operational barriers, i.e. some practical aspects of the difficulties enterprises encounter when coping with investments in energyefficient technologies.”
Barriers to energy efficiency improvement and decision-making behavior in Thai industry (2010, background): “This so-called efficiency gap is discussed in various studies (DeCanio 1998; Golove and Eto 1996; de Groot et al. 2001; Jaffe and Stavins 1994; Thollander and Ottosson 2008; Rohdin and Thollander 2006; Rohdin et al. 2007).”
Barriers to and driving forces for industrial energy efficiency improvements in African industries – a case study of Ghana's largest industrial area (2013, background): “Despite the existence of cost effective industrial energy efficiency measures, studies indicate that these measures are not always implemented, due to the prevalence of critical limiting factors called barriers (Rohdin et al., 2007).”
An energy efficient Swedish pulp and paper industry – exploring barriers to and driving forces for cost-effective energy efficiency investments (2008, background): “Previous research in other Swedish industrial sectors has shown this driving force and people with real ambition to be the highest ranked driving forces for energy efficiency (Rohdin & Thollander, 2006a; Rohdin et al., 2007; Thollander et al., 2007).”
An interdisciplinary perspective on industrial energy efficiency (2010, background): “An overview of empirical barriers to energy efficiency identified by Swedish studies is presented in Table 2 [28–30].”
