How is energy consumption affected by a shift to renewable energy?
Do saving money or a clear conscience - "I'm using environmentally friendly electricity" - reduce my willingness to save energy?
The project "Rebound Effects by Switching to Renewable Energies – Investigation of consumers and prosumer households" investigates
whether such rebound effects occur and how they can be mitigated.
Project
The aim of the project is to find ways to avoid rebound effects that damage the environment and, ideally, to further reduce consumers' energy consumption.
Project Team and Partners
The project is led by the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) and implemented together with the Institute for Future Energy Consumer Needs and Behavior (FCN) and the Fraunhofer ISI.
Practice Partners
The project involves a number of practice partners: consumer centers, climate protection agencies and companies that offer services for self-generation and the purchase of renewable energies.
