Demand Reduction
Meet the Team
|
One of the most challenging issues for energy policy is to identify how and to what extent demand can be reduced across all sectors of the economy.
The interaction between human behaviour and technology is at the heart of this theme.
Meeting the challenge over the long term, for instance up to 2050, will require input from a wide range of disciplines, ranging from psychology to control engineering.
