  • The hidden cost of segregation

    Open AccessMajid Ahmadi, Marilyn A Brown et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2026

    Numerous researchers have conducted correlational analysis to identify factors contributing to household energy poverty. While proposing various determinants, most have struggled to convincingly establish causal relationships. This paper presents a comprehensive database created by merging mortgage application and denial rates with housing unit structural characteristics, energy-related expenses, and socioeconomic data describing utility consumer…

  • Could the US become a role model for electricity decarbonization

    Open AccessMarie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A BrownARTICLEOne Earth2021

  • The persistence of high energy burdens

    Open AccessMarie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A Brown et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2020

    Using bibliometric methods, we examine the persistently high energy bills borne by low-income households in the U.S. This is a mystifying problem in today's age of abundant and low-priced electricity and fossil fuels. After decades of energy-efficiency programs and targeted policies, the average low-income household still spends a disproportionately large percentage of its income on energy bills. Issues of equity, race and justice are increasingl…

  • Relaxing Energy Policies Coupled with Climate Change Will Significantly Undermine Efforts to Attain US Ozone Standards

    Open AccessHuizhong Shen, Yilin Chen et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2019

    The United States (US) federal administration is relaxing energy policies (EPs), with yet uncharacterized effects on ambient air quality. The complex effects of EPs coupled with uncertainties associated with future climate have hindered past quantification. Here, we integrate model simulations to show that compared with a scenario of continued EPs and stationary climate, relaxation of EPs coupled with intense warming will increase the number of U…

  • Energy Resources and Use

    Open AccessMarie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A Brown et al.CHAPTERInternational Encyclopedia of…2017

    Since the Arab oil embargo of 1973–1974, a growing number of geographers have applied their disciplinary skills to examining the spatial distribution of energy resources and use. Geographical analysis of the costs and benefits of alternative energy policies has also grown in scope and sophistication.

  • Commercial cogeneration benefits depend on market rules, rates, and policies

    Open AccessMarie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A BrownARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

  • Enhancing efficiency and renewables with smart grid technologies and policies

    Marie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A BrownARTICLEFutures2014Citada por: 1Referencias: 16

  • Energy benchmarking of commercial buildings

    Open AccessMatt Cox, Marie-Annette Brown et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    US cities are beginning to experiment with a regulatory approach to address information failures in the real estate market by mandating the energy benchmarking of commercial buildings. Understanding how a commercial building uses energy has many benefits; for example, it helps building owners and tenants identify poor-performing buildings and subsystems and it enables high-performing buildings to achieve greater occupancy rates, rents, and proper…

  • Mitigating Climate Change through Green Buildings and Smart Growth

    Open AccessMarie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A Brown et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…2008Citada por: 15Referencias: 15

    Energy-efficient buildings are seen by climate change experts as one of the least-cost approaches to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This paper summarizes a study carried out for the Pew Center on Global Climate Change that takes a broader look at the potential role of a climate-friendly built environment including not only considerations of how buildings are constructed and used, but also how they interface with the electric grid and where …

  • Assessing U.S. energy policy

    Marie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A Brown et al.ARTICLEDaedalus2006Citada por: 2

    told us that we need to use energy more ef1⁄2ciently and derive more of it from domestic sources.1 Since the energy crisis of 1973, U.S. presidents have declared the need to gain independence from unstable foreign energy suppliers and to do so with the same moral fortitude as if 1⁄2ghting a war. Some politicians have proposed massive government programs to achieve the goals of their energy policies; others have sought to unleash freemarket forces…

  • Demonstrations

    Open AccessMarie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A Brown et al.ARTICLETechnology in Society1993

  • Promoting the Commercialization of Energy Innovations

    Open AccessMarie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A Brown et al.ARTICLEPolicy Studies Journal1992Referencias: 16

    This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the US Department of Energy's Energy-Related Inventions Program (ERIP). ERIP provides small grants and technical assistance to small businesses and independent inventors attempting to develop and commercialize new energy technologies. The primary purpose of this evaluation is to assess the effectiveness of ERIP in moving these technologies from the laboratory bench to the marketplace. A secondar…

  • Demonstrations as a Policy Instrument With Energy Technology Examples

    Open AccessSusan M Macey, Marie-Annette Brown et al.ARTICLEKnowledge1990Citada por: 1Referencias: 7

    Demonstration projects can be an effective tool in the diffusion of information and the promotion of new technologies and practices. This article provides a review of knowledge to date. It outlines the characteristics of demonstration projects, their goals, methods employed, and the means by which they are evaluated, using energy technology examples. Further, it discusses how the effectiveness of demonstration projects can be maximized and draws …

  • Understanding Residential Energy Conservation through Attitudes and Beliefs

    Open AccessMarie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A Brown et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1983Citada por: 1Referencias: 17

    The role of beliefs, attitudes, social influence, and intentions as predictors of residential energy conservation behaviour is explored in the context of Fishbein and Ajzen's theory of reasoned action. Empirical analysis of survey data from Decatur, Illinois provides support for the theory and insight into barriers to energy conservation

  • Modelling the Spatial Distribution of Suburban Crime

    Marie-Annette Brown, Marilyn A BrownARTICLEEconomic Geography1982Citada por: 13

    This paper examines the spatial distribution of crime among Chicago's suburbs by completing a spatial autocorrelation and regression analysis of crime occurrence rates. The results suggest that there is little interjurisdictional spillover of violent crime among the suburbs of Chicago. Rather, the clustered spatial pattern of crime and its decay with distance to the city of Chicago reflects the nonrandom spatial distribution of offender rates. Th…
