With contributions from both domestic and foreign experts offering a worldwide perspective, the Handbook of Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy provides a comprehensive survey of the field. This reference combines the two main areas related to sustainable buildings-energy efficiency and renewable energy technology-and covers topics such as general energy principles, energy conservation in buildings, industrial and transportation systems, and renewable energy technology. It also includes extensive information on landfills, transportation, and fuel cells. This timely handbook serves as the first source for up-to-date information on energy conservation and renewable energy technologies.

Mind the Gap is an unprecedented attempt to quantify the size of one of the most pervasive barriers to energy efficiency – principal-agent problems, or in common parlance, variations on the ‘landlord-tenant’ problem. In doing so, the book provides energy analysts and economists with unique insights into the amount of energy affected by principal-agent problems. Using an innovative methodology applied to eight case studies (covering commercial and residential sectors, and end-use appliances) from five different IEA countries, the analysis identifies over 3 800 PJ/year of affected energy use – that is, around 85% of the annual energy use of a country the size of Spain. The book builds on these findings to suggest a range of possible policy solutions that can reduce the impact of principal-agent problems and help policy makers mind the energy efficiency gap.
