GAO Ran and ZHANG Zhen �

(Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Fudan University) �

Contents

•  Introduction -  background and significance -  concept of residential carbon lock-in •  Review of literature -  carbon lock-in -  influence factors •  Empirical study -  data description -  influence of income -  influence of area •  Conclusions

Background and significance

carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP of 2020 drop by 40% to 45% compared with that of 2005

Background and significance

•  With the industrial restructuring and economic transformation,

Lock-in effect

Concept of residential carbon lock-in

•  Socio-economic condition makes residential energy consumption and carbon emissions at a high level through the formation of a certain mode of lifestyle, which greatly weakens the effectiveness of daily energy-saving behaviors and energy-efficient appliances.

Electricity billHousehold expenditure

Housing area

Literature on carbon lock-in

• Carbon lock-in - production sector by Unruh - consumption sector by Jackson, Druckman,

Maréchal • Few researches on the formation process of

the lock-in effect in residential area

Literature on influence factors

•  Influence of household appliances by Aydinalp et al., Lv, Ning et al.

•  Distinguish between necessities and luxuries •  Influence of housing area and income by

Holden and Norland, Ewing and Rong, Liu and Sweeney, Huo et al., Druckman and Jackson

•  Separate and study respectively

Data description

•  Electricity bill •  Household expenditure •  Housing area •  Ownership of appliances “Survey Data of Shanghai Residents’ Carbon Consumption in 2013”
