Occupants’ inquiries for energy efficiency retrofitting in the Netherlands

Highlights<br/> • The aging systems, and the house's condition, are important factors that motivate occupants to consider energy retrofitting.<br/> • Educating occupants on regular monitoring can enhance the durability and performance of energy-efficient technologies.<br/> • Policymakers need to implement region-specific strategies, to promote...

Analysis of Occupant Behaviours in Energy Efficiency Retrofitting Projects

This review of studies into Energy Efficiency Retrofitting (EER) has shown the practice of EER to be a key factor in sustainability regeneration. Thus, the retrofitting practice itself (the way it is organised) has received increasing attention from both practitioners and researchers, and studies are now addressing some issues that are affecting...

An Investigation of Occupants' Energy Perceptions in Energy Efficient Retrofitted Residential Buildings: A Review Paper

Buildings are the main sector in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Retrofitting of existing building has been identified as one of the significant strategies for reducing the impacts of buildings on energy and environment. However, recent studies have shown that low energy buildings mostly do not perform as expected. These differences are...
