   Sammanfattning : In the context of ongoing initiatives within the European Union (EU) to tackle global warming and to secure future energy supplies, the building sector is often cited as offering strong potential for energy savings. The primary aims of this thesis are to analyse the historical data related to EU building and to generate scenarios that highlight the technical and non-technical parameters that affect the energy demands (and thereby the potentials for savings) of the building sector.

5. 4. Income, Energy Taxation, and the Environment : An Econometric analysis

   Författare :Tarek Ghalwash; Runar Brännlund; Pere Riera; Umeå universitet; []
