Modelling decisions on energy-efficient renovations: A review

摘要: The buildings sector accounts for more than 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Despite the well-known economic viability many energy-efficient renovation measures which offer great potential reducing emissions and meeting climate protection targets, there is a relatively low level implementation. We performed citation network analysis in order to identify papers at research front intellectual base on four areas: technical options, understanding decisions, incentive instruments, models simulation. literature was reviewed understand what needed sufficiently increase number domestic renovations gaps. Our findings show that gained considerable momentum last decade, but lacks deep uncertainties surrounding aspects non-economic factors driving decisions homeowners. indicates (socio-economic) energy saving profitability lower generally expected.

Therefore, existing incentives, typically targeting measures, have brought little success.
