What role for microgeneration in a shift to a low carbon domestic energy sector in the UK? (2011, background): “This is very well established and understood for traditional energy efficiency measures, such as insulation (e.g. Sanstad and Howarth 1994; Brown 2001; Oxera 2006), and there is evidence that it applies to microgeneration as well (Jager 2006; Sauter and Watson 2007).”
Green energy strategies for sustainable development (2006, background): “…of various energy sources and applications (e.g., PalmerJones and Jackson, 1997; Weinberg, 1997; Suganthi and Samuel, 2000; Brown et al., 2001; Brown, 2001; Dell and Rand, 2001; Momirlan and Veziroglu, 2002, 2005; Afgan and Carvalho, 2004; Dincer and Rosen, 2004; Wustenhagen and Bilharz,…”
The Green Deal and the Energy Company Obligation (2012, background): “There is an extensive literature on the barriers to energy efficiency (Brown, 2001; Eyre, 1997; Hirst and Brown, 1990; Jaffe and Stavins, 1994; Sanstad and Howarth, 1994; Sorrell et al., 2004; Tietenberg, 2009; Weber, 1997).”
Consumer End-Use Energy Efficiency and Rebound Effects (2014, background): “Coal cleaning: a viable strategy for reduced carbon emissions and improved environment in China? Energy Policy 33(4):525–42 79.”
Constraints on Sustainable Energy Consumption: Market System and Public Policy Challenges and Opportunities (2009, background): “Thus, in general, consumers are unable to purchase a given brand/model of car, computer, or major appliance that is priced differentially on the basis of energy inputs, greenhouse gas emissions in production, energy efficiency in operation, energy costs in disposal, and so on (Brown 2001, p. 1202).”
The appeal of the green deal: Empirical evidence for the influence of energy efficiency policy on renovating homeowners (2015, background): “Explanations vary, but all tend to suggest there are 1 This includes installing new kitchens and bathrooms, building extensions, adding loft conversions or adding conservatories many ‘barriers’ to otherwise cost-effective technology adoption decisions (Brown, 2001; DECC, 2012).”
Electric vehicle adoption in Sweden and the impact of local policy instruments (2018, background): “Studies further suggest that imperfect information and limited knowledge about EVs contribute to slow diffusion rates (Brown, 2001; Sierzchula et al., 2014).”
Energy education: breaking up the rational energy use barriers (2004, background): “problems to overcome barriers: the available information is insufficient and/or incorrect in some informational situations (Brown, 2001; Scot, 1997) and policymakers give little attention to human behavior (Mullaly, 1998).”
Public policy influence on renewable energy investments—A panel data study across OECD countries (2015, background): “Path dependencies are particularly high in heavily regulated sectors such as energy, and need special attention from the responsible policy makers (Brown, 2001; Mowery et al., 2010; Sandén and Azar, 2005).”
Global climate policy: will cities lead the way? (2003, background): “Some of the barriers (and market failures) relevant to local governments include (Metz et al., 2001; Brown, 2001; Howarth and Anderson, 1993; Interlaboratory Working Group, 2000): • hidden costs (such as maintenance); • preference of consumers for certain non-efficient technologies or resistance to…”
