A finance scheme to help Germany's small private landlords sharply increase their buildings' energy performance
Residential buildings were the source of 11.6 % of Germany's greenhouse gas emissions in 2023, emitting around 78 million tonnes of CO2e, mostly due to inefficient heating and inadequate energy efficiency. This needs to be reduced to near zero by 2045. This will involve deep energy performance renovation of some 23 million dwellings, which is expensive and seldom pays back through energy cost savings. Around 43 % of all rental dwellings, almost 1…
Extending the prebound effect
The prebound effect, first identified in 2012, refers to the gap between actual energy consumption and substantially higher engineering estimates of consumption needed for full thermal comfort. It has since been widely identified in Global North countries where it is mostly due to deliberate under-consumption to save money. However, unlike its opposite, the rebound effect, it has not been investigated beyond high-income countries or in spheres ap…
Estimating opportunity costs for energy-efficiency renovations
Re-thinking energy justice to achieve a fair distribution of shared electricity from rooftop photovoltaics in a typical multi-apartment building in Germany
An important development in decarbonising energy consumption is the installation of shared rooftop photovoltaics on multiapartment buildings. It is widely agreed that the distribution of this relatively cheap electricity should be “fair” to all the users, and simultaneously maximise local use, to reduce global CO2 emissions and local electricity grid load. Most technical studies model or investigate distribution patterns on this basis, but withou…
Juggling the basics
European governments have deployed targeted and untargeted financial support to protect vulnerable households from the impacts of the recent energy crisis. However, there is little knowledge of income elasticity of energy expenditure among households experiencing energy poverty. We therefore examine the link between energy expenditure and household income levels, considering a spectrum of factors including energy poverty status, energy efficiency…
Rental and sales price premiums for energy efficiency in Germany's pre-War apartments
Increasing energy efficiency in residential buildings brings the social benefits of CO2 emissions reduction, increased energy security, reduced energy poverty and better public health, but is costly. The question arises as to who should pay for these social benefits: tenants, property owners, or society? The issues are complicated by the fact that the direct costs and benefits of energy-efficiency renovation are influenced by real estate markets.…
An under-developed dimension in upgrading energy-inefficient German rental buildings
Germany aims to achieve climate neutrality in its residential building stock by 2050. It is on track for this with newbuilds, through mandating tight energy efficiency standards. However, it lags more than 50 % behind its climate goals for energy-efficiency upgrading of existing buildings. Further, the costs of upgrading often fall on tenants, through legally permitted post-upgrade rent increases that are too high to be offset by energy savings. …
Reducing poverty in the UK to mitigate energy poverty by the 10% and Lihc indicators
Energy poverty is driven by four factors: poverty; high energy prices; energy-inefficiency; and specific household characteristics. Increasingly refined definitions of energy poverty (and/or vulnerability) identify types or locations of households most likely to be suffering it. But there is also a place for a different approach, considering poverty reduction directly, as poverty is a necessary component within all energy poverty definitions. Thi…
What Is Activist Translation
What Is Activist Translation? Rachel Galvin As coauthor of a translation manifesto crafted for the Outranspo, an international collective of creative translators, I recognize how complicated it can be to write à plusieurs (Bloomfield, Galvin, and Ruiz, "Acts de Fondación," MLN 2016). Yet collaboration indubitably makes us stronger and expands our ideas. Our Outranspo manifesto is at once playful and dead serious. We laud the creativity of transla…
Rebound effect and sustainability science
Rebound effects have been historically studied through narrow framings which may overlook the complexity of sustainability challenges, sometimes leading to badly informed conclusions and policy recommendations. Here we present a critical literature review of rebound effects in the context of sustainability science in order to (1) map existing rebound research which goes beyond mainstream approaches, (2) unveil and classify current knowledge gaps …
Towards codes of practice for navigating the academic peer review process
Peer review is the bedrock of modern academic research and its lasting contributions to science and society. And yet, reviewers can submit “poor” peer review reports, authors can blatantly ignore referee advice, and editors can contravene and undermine the peer review process itself. In this paper, we, the Editors of Energy Research & Social Science (ER&SS), seek to establish peer review codes of practice for the general energy and social science…
Transcreation and Self-Translation in Contemporary Latinx Poetry
This article argues that a recent wave of creative self-translations by Latinx poets marks a significant turn in Latinx literary history. In contrast to the conventional view of translation as a derivative, subsidiary craft, these self-translations serve as a creative practice (for composing innovative literature), a trope (for cultural and linguistic multiplicity and self-decolonization), and a theoretical framing (attuned to colonial relationsh…

The US Green New Deal (GND) resolution introduced by Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Markey is the first comprehensive program combining climate change mitigation and the elimination of economic inequality that could, conceivably, soon be adopted as policy in a major economy. We outline its main features, together with Senator Bernie Sanders’ more detailed, fully costed version, exploring its implications for policymaking and social scien…

Poetry Is Theft
This article explores poetic practices of copying and recycling that follow a “cannibalistic” logic. Taking a cue from theories of literary relationality elaborated by Edward Said, Haroldo De Campos, Oswald De Andrade, Édouard Glissant, Jorge Luis Borges, and Marcus Boon, I examine innovations in the work of poets such as Mónica de la Torre, Timothy Donnelly, Terrance Hayes, Mark McMorris, Haryette Mullen, M. NourbeSe Philip, and Wendy Walker. Wh…

Introducing the prebound effect
German regulations for the thermal renovation of existing homes demand high thermal standards, which the government claims are technically and economically feasible. This paper examines existing data on 3400 German homes; their calculated energy performance ratings (EPR) are then plotted against the actual measured consumption. The results indicate that occupants consume, on average, 30% less heating energy than the calculated rating. This phenom…

Form Has Its Reasons
Form Has Its Reasons: Translation and Copia Rachel Galvin (bio) The Oulipo has always had a special relationship to translation. A form of translation is embedded in its fundaments, as Oulipians seek to translate elements from the sphere of mathematics into potential literary structures. Raymond Queneau investigated the permutative potential of translation in his Exercises in Style, which tells the same brief, banal tale in ninety-nine distinct f…
