This edited collection critically engages with the vast and diverse social processes that constitute energy demand and with how they have been changing over time and will continue to do so. Through a series of innovative case studies, the book explores how energy demand is embedded in shared practises and activities within society, such as going to music festivals, cleaning houses, and visiting hospitals.
Demanding Energy investigates the contemporary dynamics of the constitution of energy demand in communications, leisure and business, and it outlines how crucial an understanding of spatiality and temporality is in order to grasp the relationship between energy demand and everyday practices.
This collection of works will be of interest to researchers and students in the field of energy demand, climate change, transport, and environmental sustainability.
