Excess? Is it reasonable to put a limit on how much energy we use?

Jillian Anable

CREDS recently undertook a project to investigate households with the highest energy consumption for transport (e.g. cars, aviation) and for domestic use (e.g. heating, cooking, washing). Energy efficiency and demand reduction measures across the economy could contribute around half of the cut in carbon required by 2050. The research project sought to understand how to best define high energy use, what [...]

Building on our strengths: A market transformation approach to energy retrofit in UK homes

Gavin Killip

Tuesday 02 Nov 2021 | Oxford Martin School | Slides available
Abstract: Numerous studies and policy documents highlight the importance of housing retrofit if we are to reach our net zero carbon targets.  Compared with where it needs to get to, the market for retrofit remains tiny. A new report by the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions and the Federation of Master Builders sets out the many reasons why this [...]
