Preface
This book explains the role of energy efficiency in economic development and analyzes trends in energy demand to explore the feasibility of regional economic growth under environmental constraints. Amidst growing environmental constraints, a comprehensive examination is needed of sustainable policies to stimulate regional economic development, while balancing energy use and addressing environmental problems. To accomplish this objective, the book closely examines energy demand trends in Japan by region and clarifies the factors behind changes in energy demand. In addition, this book focuses on the effects of energy efficiency on energy demand, demonstrates quantitatively the factors behind energy efficiency improvements, and explains the use of energy efficiency indicators. From these analyses, readers can investigate favorable regional economic and environmental policies that promote improvements in energy efficiency and contribute to the realization of a low-carbon society. To date, while various publications have presented studies that individually evalua
