Therefore, adoption of energy efficient (EE) technologies by MSMEs is crucial in improving not only their competitiveness through cost reduction but also worker wellbeing and productivity through improvements in the work environment. Enterprise owners most often do not internalize the benefits of the latter; like productivity gains due to reduction in exposure of workers to heat, pollution etc. Lack of information, financing options, skilled technical personnel, poor management practices etc. are some of the important barriers faced by MSMEs. Our proposed work seeks to address information gaps in the adoption of EE technologies which are cost-effective as well as have productivity co-benefits through impacts on the workforce. This is vital for reducing fossil fuels energy consumption, greenhouse gas emission and co-pollutants in air and their harmful effects on the workforce.</p> The full abstract of the study, if available Links https://www.socialscienceregistry.org/trials/12100 Links to any published papers and related discussions Authors * Affiliations Academic and other institutes that the authors of the study are members of Delivery partner Organisations involved in delivering the trial, if appropriate Year Year Year199419951996199719981999200020012002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014201520162017201820192020202120222023202420252026 Month MonthJanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec Day Day12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031 Journal Journal publishing the study, if available Publication stage * Working Paper Published Ongoing Research Forthcoming Discussion Paper Research theme * Entrepreneurship Innovation Business Growth Country Country or countries where this study took place.
