This study explores the role of Energy Retrofit (ER) in Low Carbon Transition (LCT). The
literature recognises the need to move towards a transdisciplinary approach in ER, which …

Low carbon retrofitting of the existing housing stock is increasingly being recognised as a
vital part of national efforts to substantially reduce carbon emissions from all sectors of the …

This paper analyzes the logics that underlie two distinct approaches to energy-efficiency
retrofits in the Netherlands. It is explained how these logics lead to differing viewpoints on …

The research about energy efficiency in buildings has exponentially increased during the
last few years. Nevertheless, both research and practice still cannot rely on complete …

There is widespread agreement that the energy efficiency of existing UK housing will need
to be improved significantly, to meet future emissions targets and to support the …

Retrofitting cities provides major challenges for decision-makers and planners seeking to
provide strategic management of urban transitions. Recognising the implications of …

The building sector constitute a critical part of the climate change problems, representing the
single largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, the sector is central to low-cost …

Despite the substantial effort on almost all levels during the last decades, the buildings'
renovation rate needs to be at least doubled from the current 1% to meet ambitious energy …

Policy on domestic thermal retrofits is usually designed as a top-down enterprise, setting
standards and inducing homeowners to retrofit accordingly. Its underlying assumption is that …

Energy Communities are based on principles of renewables, efficiency, local ownership, to
improve energy supply and demand. This study evaluates performance of communities …
