Adoption of energy-efficiency measures in SMEs—An empirical analysis based on energy audit data from Germany (2012, unknown): “The survey results are often presented as descriptive statistics (e.g. total numbers or shares) of selfassessed barriers (Harris et al. 2000; Thollander, Ottosson 2008).”
Barriers to energy efficiency in shipping: A triangulated approach to investigate the principal agent problem (2015, result): “This approach of gauging implementation is similar to other empirical studies (Velthuijsen, 1993; Gillisen and Opschoor, 1994; Harris et al., 2000; Sorrel et al., 2004).”
Promoting energy efficiency investments with risk management decision tools (2010, methodology): “Harris et al. (2000) found PB analysis used by 80 percent of Australian manufacturers with 50 percent using IRR and 30 percent using NPV. Anecdotal and case study evidence by Koomey (1990), Kulakowski (1999), Muller et al., (1995) and the US Department of Energy (1996) unanimously found short…”
The characteristics of energy-efficiency measures – a neglected dimension (2012, background): “Another important factor influencing the adoption of an EEM is the required initial expenditure of an investment (del Río González 2005; Harris et al. 2000; Kemp, Volpi 2008).”
Make it strategic! Financial investment logic is not enough (2011, background): “…as playing an important role: the (absence of a) link between an energy-efficiency investment and a company’s core business (de Groot et al. 2001; Harris et al. 2000; Parker et al. 2000; Sandberg and Söderström 2003; Sardianou 2008; Sorrell et al. 2000; Velthuijsen 1993; Weber 2000, 1997).”
Barriers to increasing energy efficiency: evidence from small-and medium-sized enterprises in China (2013, background): “These two barriers are especially important since Cooremans (2011) and Harris et al. (2000) note that most companies use payback time as a key investment decision criterion.”
Energy management practices in Swedish energy-intensive industries (2010, background): “A number of previous studies have been conducted in the area of energy audits [13-14], energy optimization [15-16], energy modelling [17-18], and energy audit programs in relation to the adoption of energy efficiency technologies [19-20].”
Investment in energy efficiency: do the characteristics of investments matter? (2012, background): “…business is often mentioned as a (negative) factor which plays an important role in the decision-making surrounding investments (de Groot et al. 2001; Harris et al. 2000; Parker et al. 2000; Sæle et al. 2005; Sandberg and Söderström 2003; Sardianou 2008; Sorrell et al. 2000; Velthuijsen 1993;…”
