An interdisciplinary perspective on industrial energy efficiency
This paper combines engineering and social science approaches to enhance our understanding of industrial energy efficiency and broaden our perspective on policy making in Europe. Sustainable development demands new strategies, solutions, and policy-making approaches. Numerous studies of energy efficiency potential state that cost-effective energy efficiency technologies in industry are not always implemented for various reasons, such as lack of information, procedural impediments, and routines not favoring energy efficiency. Another reason for the efficiency gap is the existence of particular values, unsupportive of energy efficiency, in the dominant networks of a branch of trade. Analysis indicates that different sectors of rather closed communities have established their own tacit knowledge, perceived truths, and routines concerning energy efficiency measures. Actors in different industrial sectors highlight different barriers to energy efficiency and why cost-effective energy efficiency measures are not being implemented. The identified barriers can be problematized in relation to the social context to understand their existence and how to resolve them. ; Original Publication:Jenny Palm and Patrik Thollander, An interdisciplinary perspective on industrial energy efficiency, 2010, Applied Energy, (87), 10, 3255-3261.http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2010.04.019Copyright: Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam.http://www.elsevier.com/
