...A large share of companies (about 85%; Schröter et al. 2009) base decisions on short payback rates and therefore often reject profitable measures that would have been adopted if the internal rate of return had been taken as the decision criterion (Jochem et al. 2010)....

...Energy efficiency networks typically focus on energy savings from cross-cutting technologies such as process heat and process cooling, ventilation or lighting, since these are used in a wide range of industrial sectors (Jochem et al. 2010; Köwener et al. 2014; Rohde et al. 2015)....

...2 In energy efficiency network types not using the LEEN standard, a participation with annual energy costs above EUR 150,000 is also possible (Jochem et al. 2010)....

...Moreover, EENs may influence energy conservation through socio-psychological mechanisms (Stern 1992; Jochem et al. 2010): The participation of company representatives in a group structure like an energy efficiency network can lead to a higher intrinsic motivation for participants (Köwener et al.…...

...2 energy savings compared to a baseline energy consumption) by around two percent each year, or double the speed of the industrial sector as a whole (Jochem et al. 2010; Köwener et al. 2014; Rohde et al. 2015)....

...Since network participants can trust each other due to the absence of a commercial interest among network peers, this sharing of experiences may be particularly valuable (Jochem et al. 2010; Köwener et al. 2014)....

...Yet, there seem to be several important barriers such as lacking awareness, large administrative hurdles, and missing information that impede the success of such activities (Epper, Fehr-Duda, & Schubert, 2011; Farsi, 2010; Jaffe & Stavins, 1994; Jakob, 2007; Jochem et al., 2010)....

...This inertia may at least partially be caused by either a lack of awareness and acceptability of new technologies or by continuing a traditional or common behaviour or habit (Abou-Zeid et al., 2012; Jakob, 2007; Jochem et al., 2010)....

...The energy-efficiency gap implies that specific implementation barriers exist that hinder private households from realizing cost efficient reduction activities (Eichhammer et al., 2009; Jochem et al., 2010)....
