Forecasting macro-energy demand accounting for time-use and telework
- DamonHD 3y ago"Most surprising result: reduced energy use of non-residential building was the most important factor." Highlights: Increasing telework by 20 % will lead to 3.6 % net energy demand reduction in 2030. Telework shifts energy demand to home usage, offset by reductions in other sectors. The non-residential buildings sector has the highest energy reduction due to telework. Technological progress has the largest impact on reducing energy demand. Behavioral changes, such as more telework, shift where energy is being consumed.
