520 |a This publication is an attempt to quantify the size of one of the most pervasive barriers to energy efficiency -- principal-agent problems, or in common parlance, variations on the "landlord-tenant" problem. In doing so, the book provides energy analysts and economists with insights into the amount of energy affected by principal-agent problems. Using an innovative methodology applied to eight case studies (covering commercial and residential sectors, and end-use appliances) from five different IEA countries (Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the United States, Australia), the analysis identifies over 3,800 PJ/year of affected energy use -- that is, around 85% of the annual energy use of a country the size of Spain. The book builds on these findings to suggest a range of possible policy solutions that can reduce the impact of principal-agent problems and help policy makers mind the energy efficiency gap.--Publisher's description
