Now it is possible to move back in the process of technological change from diffusion to innovation. In the energy efficiency area, it is helpful to think of the innovation process as affecting improvements in the attributes or characteristics of products. This process is represented as the shifting inward over time of a curve representing the trade-offs between different product characteristics for the range of products available on the market.

Many readers may be unfamiliar with the way economists typically view the process of technological change, thus it is useful to first establish this common understanding. Furthermore, to understand the potential for public policy to affect energy efficiency, it is also necessary to understand the process through which technology evolves: invention, innovation, energy diffusion, and product use.
