| Tiivistelmä: | This paper deals with potential policy options available to local/municipal authorities in achieving reductions in energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Survey results of more than 110 SMEs have been used to disaggregate the category of 'SME' into sub-sectors based on industrial sector, two measurements of employee size and annual turnover. Key characteristics and behaviours of the sub-sectors of firms are identified by statistical analysis. The key results indicate that categories of firms differ as to energy usage behaviours, internal constraints and attitudes toward possible policy options etc. |
