Dang, M.K. (author), Cunin, Maxime (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)The joint deployment of energy reduction actions across multiple buildings at once is much needed to reach climate targets, but collective decision-making with shared ownership is a complex process. Each homeowner is accountable for their own energy use, while being constrained by their personal financial capacity and will to act with other co...conference paper 2023

Krutisch, L.N. (author), Qian, QK (author), Mlecnik, E. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Energy efficient renovation (EER) of the owner-occupied building stock is identified as a key effort to pursue in order to mitigate climate change. However, current renovation rates continuously fall behind and a need to foster EER uptake is apparent. As homeowners' behaviour and decision-making are crucial in the context of EER, behavioural...conference paper 2023
