Abstract
Energy efficiency can be a worthy goal for institutions and individuals; reducing energy consumption decreases demand for fossil fuels and consumes energy more sustainably. However, more cost-effective devices can lead to behavioral changes that ultimately increase energy consumption, even though the devices themselves are more energy efficient: This called the rebound effect. Rebound occurs when less energy is saved than expected. This can be a result of several factors: increased use of the device drawing more energy, manufacturers using more energy to create the new device, or money saved by the users being re-spent in the economy. The combination of these three values produces an economy-wide rebound where the market saves less energy than planned.
