Over the last two decades, European Union and its Member States have introduced policies aimed at improving energy efficiency. The Energy Service Directives (ESD) concept of measurement savings attributed to policies. Two different complementary methodologies for evaluation been developed under ESD: bottom-up (BU) approach, based on a technical analysis each measure, top-down (TD) how intensity changes over time. BU methods can hardly take into account policy-induced behavioural changes, whereas TD difficulties in disentangling from other savings. Econometric models proposed as viable alternative deal with both drawbacks. purpose this article is present an econometric model estimating induced by efficiency EU period 1990–2013. We introduce explicit measure Policy Intensity MURE database, which used explanatory variable dynamic panel 29 countries.

Abstract The Paris Agreement goals require net‐zero CO 2 emissions by mid‐century. European Commission in its recent proposal for climate and energy strategy 2050 indicated the need more intensified actions to substantially improve performances of buildings. With rate new construction Europe, challenge is increase both pace depth building renovations. Several barriers inhibit wide uptake comprehensive renovations, including inability or inertia finance upfront costs Despite various policies implemented address some these barriers, current investments buildings remain at suboptimal levels. paper reviews financing practices renovations investigates innovative instruments with a special focus on their applicability residential In addition “traditional” financial schemes such as subsidies, tax incentives, loans, assesses schemes: On property on‐bill financing, efficiency mortgages, feed‐in tariffs. also concept one‐stop shops crowdfunding. offers an assessment characteristics, benefits, challenges each analyzed instrument provides policy recommendations successful implementation. general, involve different stakeholders due complex nature sector, there no single solution accelerate renovation investment emerging models offer potential long‐standing efficiency.

Residential energy use represents roughly 17% of annual greenhouse gas emissions in the United States (U.S.). Studies show that legacy housing policies and financial lending practices have negatively impacted quality home ownership non-Caucasian immigrant communities. Both factors are key determinants household use. But to date there has been no national scale analysis how race ethnicity affect related carbon emissions. In this paper, we estimate 60 million clarify efficiency vary by race, ethnicity, ownership. We find per capita higher Caucasian neighborhoods than African-American neighborhoods, even though former live more energy-efficient homes (low intensity). This paradox is explained differences building age, rates ownership, floor area these older, lower (reducing likelihood retrofits), less person compared neighborhoods. Statistical models suggest historical policies, particularly "redlining", partially explain differences. three address paradox: Government financing retrofits, rental units; Increased access photovoltaics disadvantaged communities; Disincentivizes for high consumption Addressing provides an opportunity equitable decarbonization U.S. sector.
