The title is misleading as it ignores the qualifier that the employees have to take certain steps at home to achieve this. Some examples:
> You and his team found that this isn’t the case. In fact, remote workers often drive more often than their in-office counterparts by taking several short car trips throughout the day.
> The researchers also found that working from home can prompt people to use more energy over the course of a workday on things such as air-conditioning and a dishwasher. And remote workers are more likely to move out of big, centralized cities, where lifestyles are generally less carbon-intensive than in suburban or rural areas.
- sideshowb 3y agoThese issues are key. Thanks for raising them. In some recent transport modelling work we decided there wasn't yet enough evidence about wfh, specifically because people may move further from the office. If this study fills some gaps, it's good work. ...edit: ok so it doesn't address causality. Alas. We need a study following a cohort for a few years after wfh became available, vs another cohort denied wfh.
- sideshowb 3y agoDown votes are being used reddit style, I see. I'd love to know what the disagreement is exactly?
- voisin 3y agoI wondered the same thing with my comment which was largely quoting clarifying items from the article. I think this is a touchy subject for people who cannot emotionally handle anything challenging their view.
