Th is for the legislation to be well-communicated and at the same time absolutely obligatory. Setting ambitious, feel-good targets that we don’t expect to achieve is missing the point. Academia could help with making this possible by researching the link between energy efficiency and profitability, rather than shying away from business (there is some research focusing on business case for energy efficiency, for example http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921344999000427
