Die Energieintensität eines Unternehmens ist abhängig von der konkret benutzen Kennzahl. Die Energiekosten als Anteil am Umsatz und die Energiekosten als Anteil an den Gesamtkosten sind ein betriebswirtschaftlich wichtiges Maß. Leider wird diese Messgröße stark von den Personal- und...

The literature has identified a number of determinants of energy efficiency measures (EEMs) in firms, such as investment costs, expected profitability, the level of information and firm size. Instead of contributing a comprehensive analysis of this sort this paper theoretically and empirically...

Residential energy consumption has been increasingly singled out by public policies as a key area for potential emission reduction. The public implementation of energy efficiency consultants (EECs) as change agents aims at the diffusion of innovation in building efficiency and overcoming...

We use a field experiment on energy billing in a German region to evaluate the effect of two behavioral nudges (consumption feedback and social comparison) on electricity consumption. Similar experiments have revealed significant treatment effects, yet the individual variance has proven...

Despite a common EU directive on energy efficiency in residential buildings, levels of energy efficiency differ vastly across European countries. This article analyses these differences and investigates the effectiveness of different energy efficiency policies in place in those countries. We...

Die vorliegende Kurzstudie zur betrieblichen Energieeffizienz greift auf Daten zurück, welche in einer gemeinsamen Umfrage der Handwerkskammern Trier, Düsseldorf, Saarbrücken, Koblenz, Hamburg und Münster erhoben worden sind. Sie basiert auf Antworten von 203 Handwerksunternehmen. Es wurde...
