@article{Hook2020ASR, title={A systematic review of the energy and climate impacts of teleworking}, author={Andrew Hook and Victor Court and Benjamin Sovacool and Steve Sorrell}, journal={Environmental Research Letters}, year={2020}, volume={15}, pages={093003} }
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) increasingly enable employees to work from home and other locations ('teleworking'). This study explores the extent to which teleworking reduces the need to travel to work and the consequent impacts on economy-wide energy consumption. Methods/Design: The paper provides a systematic review of the current state of knowledge of the energy impacts of teleworking. This includes the energy savings from reduced commuter travel and the indirect impacts…
