“…A rebound in energy consumption can be attributed to several reasons, including the difference between actual savings and those predicted from engineering models; a change in mean internal temperature after retrofit; and due to changes in user behaviour. In many instances rebound effects may reflect prior deprivations, such as inadequate heating, and therefore rebound effects are desirable policy outcomes (Ryan and Campbell, 2012).…”

The mission of the Economic and Social Research Institute is to advance evidencebased policymaking that supports economic sustainability and social progress in Ireland. ESRI researchers apply the highest standards of academic excellence to challenges facing policymakers, focusing on 12 areas of critical importance to 21st Century Ireland. The Institute was founded in 1960 by a group of senior civil servants led by Dr T. K. Whitaker, who identified the need for independent and in-depth research analysis to provide a robust evidence base for policymaking in Ireland. Since then, the Institute has remained committed to independent research and its work is free of any expressed ideology or political position. The Institute publishes all research reaching the appropriate academic standard, irrespective of its findings or who funds the research. The quality of its research output is guaranteed by a rigorous peer review process. ESRI researchers are experts in their fields and are committed to producing work that meets the highest academic standards and practices. The work of the Institute is disseminated widely in books, journal articles and reports. ESRI publications are available to download, free of charge, from its website. Additionally, ESRI staff communicate research findings at regular conferences and seminars. The ESRI is a company limited by guarantee, answerable to its members and governed by a Council, comprising 14 members who represent a cross-section of ESRI members from academia, civil services, state agencies, businesses and civil society. The Institute receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to support the scientific and public interest elements of the Institute's activities; the grant accounted for an average of 30 per cent of the Institute's income over the lifetime of the last Research Strategy. The remaining funding comes from research programmes supported by government departments and agencies, public bodies and competitive research programmes.

Measuring the Socioeconomic and Environmental Effects of Energy Efficiency Investments for a More Sustainable Spanish Economy

We present here an application of a multisector economic model to simulate the impact of investing in energy-efficiency-related sectors. Given the value chain of energy production shows several aspects to be improved, this paper intends to identify the economic sectors where investment should be allocated in order to reach the targeted energy efficiency levels in the overall economic system. We expect that an improvement in energy efficiency will bring a fall in electricity demand. Simulating these impacts will enable an assessment of the macroeconomic effects of such demand-side changes in Spain. For simulation purposes, we will use input-output methodology, based on data from a Spanish input-output table from the year 2012 that we have constructed. The scenario used for modeling has been obtained from the objectives proposed by the European Union for 2030, specifically the one promoting an increase to at least a 27% increase in energy efficiency compared with the business-as-usual scenario. This demand-side model enables us to measure the potential sector-by-sector growth of the Spanish economy and to calculate households' expected savings in energy bills due to the implementation of energy efficiency measures. The impacts of employment and CO 2 emissions are also quantified as a result of the investments aimed at improving energy efficiency.

“…Therefore, the implementation of energy efficiency measures (EEM) in commercial and residential sectors plays a prominent role in the reduction of energy demand, further contributing to reduce global warming (Sorrell, 2015). According to an International Energy Agency (IEA) report, 71% of the world greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction would come from energy efficiency improvements by 2020 and 38% by 2050 (Ryan & Campbell, 2012). Energy efficiency is recognized as a key strategy to tackle three energy-related challenges-climate change, energy security, and economic development-at the least cost to society (Bukarica & Tomši c, 2017).…”

“…Appliances/End-use technologies with mandatory and voluntary labeling schemes in other countries (July 2016) CO-BENEFITS OBTAINED WITH THE USE OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT APPLIANCES Energy efficiency can bring multiple benefits, such as enhancing the sustainability of the energy system, supporting strategic objectives for economic and social development, promoting environmental goals, and increasing prosperity (International Energy Agency, 2014;Ryan & Campbell, 2012). Besides being a cost-effective driver for attaining reduced energy consumption, the adoption of energy conservation measures (ECM) also allows achieving additional "cobenefits"(Thomas et al, …”

The promotion of energy efficiency has been at the forefront of the energy policy agenda. New technological inventions and increasing environmental concerns related to contemporary energy policy are the main drivers of the adoption of more energy-efficient appliances in the domestic sector. Additionally, the mandatory star labeling program and incentive design mechanisms are also raising awareness and motivation for their use, thus contributing to the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainable energy policies generally pursue programs aiming for energy efficiency among domestic appliances. In India there are currently nine domestic electrical appliances/end-uses certified with star labeling programs, in particular lighting sources, refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters, televisions, computers, washing machines, ceiling fans, and water pumps. This study reviews main issues affecting selection of energy-efficient technologies in India's domestic sector highlighting the main challenges impacting design of energy efficiency policies and programs in the country.
