Summary: Reducing household energy consumption is crucial for decreasing fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions, but some technologies do not have the expected impact. Homes without improvements had lower electricity consumption as users were solely responsible for electronic device operations, while energy conservation strategies led to lower energy bills but higher overall energy consumption.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between energy efficiency policies and state-level energy consumption in the United States, finding that state governments' energy efficiency policies may be positively related to energy consumption instead of reducing it. This suggests that savings from efficiency improvement are often channeled to expanding production and consumption, with significant implications for energy use.

Summary: Traditionally, improving energy efficiency is crucial for energy saving, but it may not be as effective as expected due to the rebound effect. This study focuses on China's metallurgical industry, measuring the energy rebound effect and exploring whether enhancing energy efficiency can promote energy conservation. Results show that additional measures should be implemented in conjunction with energy efficiency improvement policies to enhance energy saving efforts.

Summary: This article discusses the rebound effect from the perspective of neo-institutionalism, considering it as a phenomenon of institutional trap. It presents a typology of the rebound effect and identifies institutional mechanisms that can lead to its appearance or strengthening. The article also examines state policy measures to regulate the rebound effect in international practice and highlights the importance of adjusting the institutional framework in energy efficiency.

Summary: This study uses Structural Decomposition Analysis to investigate the rebound effect, finding the total rebound effect caused by energy efficiency improvements in Spain from 2000 to 2014, as well as the direct, indirect, and economy-wide rebound effects. The results show that the rebound effect varies among different sectors and economic scopes.

Summary: The study demonstrates that cost reduction from energy efficiency initiatives may lead to behavioral changes undermining energy savings. An analysis of household heat pumps shows that electricity savings are entirely offset by changes in demand, but overall energy efficiency increases and total energy consumption decreases.

Summary: The building sector is a major energy user and greenhouse gas emitter. Energy audit is an effective approach to identify efficient energy usage and savings. A detailed energy audit for a Research and Development building revealed that air-conditioning, lighting, and PC/laptops are the main contributors to energy consumption.

Summary: Energy efficiency is a crucial factor in public policies, as it plays a key role in separating economic growth from energy consumption. This paper addresses the gap in existing literature by analyzing the economic and environmental impacts of achieving energy efficiency targets through an energy fiscal policy. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers.

Summary: The article explores the rebound effect and backfire generated by energy efficiency improvements, expanding on Wei's (2010) model. It highlights the importance of energy supply and multiple energy services in influencing the rebound effect, as well as the potential for backfire from neutral technical changes.

Summary: This paper investigates the heterogeneity in rebound effects from policy-induced energy efficiency improvements by examining the influence of income and home size. The study focuses on residential lighting as the context, and separately estimates the effects on energy services and electricity consumption. The findings show that rebound effects are more significant for low-income households and those living in smaller homes. However, the rebound effect is not large enough to lead to increased energy consumption, and all income and home-size groups achieve net energy savings.

Summary: The objective of this study is to analyze the role of energy efficiency and curtailment behaviors and examine how these behaviors are mediated by annual household income to explain overall energy consumption dynamics in US households using a nationally representative dataset. Our findings suggest that efficiency behaviors are positively correlated with the household income, but the direction of relationship between income and curtailment behaviors appears to vary depending upon specific actions. Our study provides important insights for tailored, targeted, and effective policies in residential energy saving behaviors.

Summary: China aims to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and become a carbon-neutral society by 2060. The building sector, responsible for over one-third of total carbon emissions, faces a significant challenge in helping China achieve these goals. The study conducted in Shenzhen shows that there is room for improvement in the city's energy conservation and carbon emissions reduction efforts, with the potential to reach peak carbon emissions in the buildings sector by 2025, 5 years earlier than the national target.

Summary: This study explores the energy rebound effects on China's domestic overall and various industries from the perspective of generalized technological progress using data from 2005 to 2017. The results indicate that the rebound effect of the domestic overall is mainly driven by the secondary sector. While the domestic overall and high-energy-consuming industries reduce the rebound effects, low-energy-consuming industries increase them. The findings suggest that the Industrial Restructuring Initiative implemented during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan has effectively mitigated the rebound effects of high-energy-consuming industries and offset the feedback effect within the economic system.

Summary: The study found that properties in known flooded areas have a valuation discount effect, but sea level rise does not have a detectable effect on valuations or sales. Additionally, buildings located in both current flood zones and areas likely to be under water in the future are in significantly worse states of maintenance and repair. The lack of a price discount for sea level rise suggests that purchasers may not be adequately prepared for the future challenges of flooding and sea level rise.

Summary: The study shows that the median internal rate of return for energy retrofit investments in multifamily buildings is 21% and 25% for office properties. Adoption rates are higher for office buildings compared to multifamily buildings, and adopter buildings tend to be larger, higher value, and less energy efficient prior to retrofit implementation.
