Abstract:
The main objective of the study was to provide insight in the drivingforces for energy conservation and their relation with conservation policy
instruments and to investigate the present and future situation regarding
energy conservation in different countries in terms of differences and common
challenges. For seven European countries, case studies have been conducted
using a new integrated conservation model Reduce. This is a dynamic energy
conservation model that calculates market penetration of energy conservation
options based on the evaluation of costs and benefits of conservation policy
instruments. The model takes into account economic, social and behavioural
aspects of penetration of energy conservation technology in different market
niches and the effects of policy measures upon the penetration. Competition
and interaction of options is endogenous in the model. Finally, the resulting
(saving of) energy end-use is calculated. With this approach, an exploration
of strategies for the application of policy instruments is conducted. This
national report presents the results for the Netherlands. Chapter 3 'National
energy context' reviews the present situation regarding energy consumption.
Chapter 4 'National policies and instruments' describes the present energy
conservation policies. Recent national energy conservation studies are
described in Chapter 5 'National energy conservation studies'. Furthermore,
the national case study is described in terms of methodology (Chapter 6),
assumptions (Chapter 7) and results (Chapter 8 for households and Chapter 9
for manufacturing). 45 refs.
