摘要: Residential energy demand can be greatly influenced by the types of housing structures that households live in, but few studies have assessed changes in composition stocks as a strategy for reducing residential or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this paper we examine effects three sequenced federal policies on share new construction type U.S., and estimate cumulative influence those 2015 stock. counterfactual stock without policy effects, 14 million units exist multifamily rather than single-family, equal to 14.1% urban housing. Accompanied floor area reductions 0-50%, switch from single- reduces 27-47% per household, total 4.6-8.3%. This is first link outcomes associated GHG Removing barriers disincentives unlock large potential emissions coming decades.
