Closing the gap on EU building stock emissions
The EU building stock is in urgent need of energy-efficient renovation interventions to reduce its operational carbon. Ramboll have assisted the European Environment Agency (EEA) in increasing their understanding of the behavioral factors influencing energy efficiency decisions in the renovation of buildings and from this help close the gap on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the European building stock.
- Analysing the broad variety of factors affecting decisions in renovation, and the role of behavioural factors in influencing the uptake of energy efficiency measures and energy consumption levels after the renovation
- Identifying and characterising relevant key stakeholders and their decision process of investing in energy efficiency in buildings
- Mapping options for measures that address the identified behavioural mechanisms in the pre- and post-renovation phases
- Analysing gaps and collecting completed and ongoing good practices
- Deriving recommendations to European, national, and local policy makers on how to include behavioural factors to improve energy efficiency investments in buildings policies.
