Consideration of Future Consequences as a Predictor of Environmentally Responsible Behavior (2015, background): “From a practical point of view, this is dissatisfying as particularly efficiency-increasing behaviors have a large potential for energy-saving (Gardner & Stern, 1996; Jakob, 2006, 2007) and are far-reaching; the estimated lifetime of wall insulations for example is 40 years (Jakob, 2006).”
Willingness to Pay for Energy Conservation and Free-Ridership on Subsidization: Evidence from Germany (2009, unknown): “We checked our estimates of the average-unit cost against other published estimates (e.g. Jakob (2006) or Finanztest (2007)) and found the figures to be commensurate.”
Modelling decisions on energy-efficient renovations: A review (2014, background): “• Increase awareness of co-benefits and cost dynamics of energy efficiency investments of decision makers in the real estate sector, politics and administrations [72];”
Evaluation of Economically Optimal Retrofit Investment Options for Energy Savings in Buildings (2011, background): “Having evaluated a bundle of measures to reduce energy demand and to increase the occupants’ level of comfort for various office building types in Switzerland, Jakob [5] highlights the benefits of concepts of juridical combinations of highly efficient technologies in terms of high energy efficiency ”
Economic analysis of passive houses and low-energy houses compared with standard houses (2008, background): “This currently largely untapped potential offers significant opportunities to reach the Kyoto objectives (Jakob, 2006).”
European residential buildings and empirical assessment of the Hellenic building stock, energy consumption, emissions and potential energy savings (2007, background): “7 kWh/m(2), while the German advanced low-energy buildings and Passivehouse standard, limits the annual energy demand for space heating to just 30 and 15 kWh/m(2) [22], respectively.”
The appeal of the green deal: Empirical evidence for the influence of energy efficiency policy on renovating homeowners (2015, background): “As well as energy cost savings from these efficiency measures there are other benefits to the homeowner such as reduced draughts and condensation, improved thermal comfort, and increased property value (Jakob, 2006).”
Marginal abatement cost curves: a call for caution (2011, background): “Noise related co-benefits can be substantial as was shown by Jakob (2006) for the case of Switzerland.”
Make it strategic! Financial investment logic is not enough (2011, background): “This bridging between the fields of energyefficiency and strategic management should incorporate analysis of non-energy benefits of energyefficiency investments (Jakob 2006; Kats et al. 2003; Mills et al. 2008; Mills and Rosenfeld 1994; Pye and McKane 1999; Worrell et al. 2003).”
