ResumenThe shift toward Smart Cities heavily relies on adopting energy-efficiency strategies to meet ambitious decarbonization targets. However, the rebound effect, where improvements in technical efficiency are partly offset by increased energy consumption, often reduces the expected environmental and economic benefits. Traditional Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACC) often ignore this behavioral feedback, which can lead to an overestimation of mitigation potential. This paper introduces a data-driven probabilistic framework for assessing the influence of the rebound effect on a portfolio of urban mitigation strategies by integrating behavioral feedback into a bottom-up MACC. By combining Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to address parametric uncertainty with Bayesian Networks (BN) for conditional inference, the robustness of nine strategies is examined across residential, commercial, and transportation sectors. The results demonstrate that even a moderate rebound effect (η=0.5) causes a 10.09% decrease in total net abatement, dropping from 24.86 to 22.35 tCO2e, and significantly raises costs. Notably, the number of strictly cost-effective strategies (MAC<0) decreases from six to three, highlighting the fragility of certain “win–win” measures. This framework introduces the concepts of Financial Backfire Probability (FBP) and Environmental Backfire Probability (EBP) as new metrics for urban planning. These findings emphasize that rebound tolerance is a critical factor in climate policy, indicating that additional measures, such as Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring and demand-side management, may be necessary to prevent performance erosion amid behavioral uncertainty.es_ES
