Preface
One of the core interests of this book is to situate discussions of energy demand and the performances and practices that constitute it within particular spaces and times. It would be remiss of us then if we didn’t similarly situate the book itself. Demanding Energy grew from and was supported by the nexus of practices around the DEMAND Centre (Dynamics of Energy, Mobility and Demand), a multi-institutional research collaboration funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (grant number EP/ K011723/1) as part of the Research Councils UK (RCUK) Energy Programme and by Électricité de France (EDF) as part of the R&D European Center and Laboratories for Energy Efficiency Research (ECLEER)
