Managing Energy Demand
Managing Energy Demand begins with an introduction to the management of energy demand, energy efficiency improvement and energy conservation. It contrasts the different approaches involved in managing energy at a household level with those involved at a regional or national scale, and stresses the need to concentrate on the services that energy can provide, rather than energy per se. It is followed by chapters describing energy use in transport, which is growing rapidly worldwide. A wide range of technological and organizational approaches to reducing its environmental impact are examined.The text concludes with a chapter on demand-side energy management at a national level, including industrial energy use, describing the evolution of national energy efficiency policies and legislation, and examining the conflicts and compromises involved in integrating these with other national policies
