Improving Energy Efficiency in Industrial Energy Systems An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Barriers, Energy Audits, Energy Management, Policies, and Programs

Improving Energy Efficiency in Industrial Energy Systems An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Barriers, Energy Audits, Energy Management, Policies, and Programs / by Patrik Thollander, Jenny Palm.

Industrial energy efficiency is one of the most important means of reducing the threat of increased global warming. Research however states that despite the existence of numerous technical energy efficiency measures, its deployment is hindered by the existence of various barriers to energy efficienc...
