Energy Efficiency in Household Appliances
There is widespread interest throughout the world in improving appliance energy efficiency. Methods to reach that end include energy labeling, energy efficiency standards and market conditioning (e.g, energy efficient procurement and DSM programs). Energy efficiency standards, which started out as an action to reduce demand for energy in individual countries, has now become a subject of regional and even worldwide dimension, particularly in the context of global climate change mitigation. Mandatory energy efficiency standards are in place for some appliances in China, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines and the United States. Standards for refrigerator/freezers will take effect in Australia and ...

Küche, Kühlschrank, Kilowatt
Hoher Energie- und vor allem Stromverbrauch ist zu einem Problem geworden - aber wie konnte er zu einem bestimmenden Faktor westlichen Lebenswandels werden? Sophie Gerber widmet sich der Frage nach seiner Etablierung in privaten Haushalten zwischen 1945 und 1990 sowie der Rolle von elektrischen (Küchen-)Geräten und ihren Konsument_innen. Auf der Grundlage eines breitgefächerten Quellen- und Materialkorpus untersucht sie das Phänomen des rasant steigenden privaten Energieverbrauchs in seiner Bedeutung für die gesamtgesellschaftliche Entwicklung. Die Studie entwickelt eine neue Perspektive auf die Energiegeschichte und trägt dazu bei, die Herausforderungen der »Energiewende« besser zu verstehen.
