UKERC Review of Evidence for the Rebound Effect: Technical Report 5: Energy, productivity and economic growth studies

Abstract:

One interpretation of the so-called Khazzoom-Brookes postulate is that all costeffective energy efficiency improvements will increase energy consumption above where it would be without those improvements. This is a counterintuitive claim for many people and requires strong supporting evidence if it is to gain widespread acceptance. The main conclusion from this review is that such evidence does not exist.
