Description
Summary:The authors discuss the design and implementation of social regulation of energy conservation based on some empirical studies of various kinds of public organizations and private business firms in Sweden. A major point is that the result of regulatory measures may be affected by organizational characteristics and particularly by the general goals of the regulated organizations. The impact of various administrative, economic and informative measures of energy conservation in existing buildings in Sweden are discussed against this background and relevant questions of public policy are outlined.
