The ambition of energy policy has long been to reduce carbon emissions, secure supply and provide affordable services. In recent years an increasing number instruments have introduced promote efficiency in different sectors across the EU. While previous research largely analysed effectiveness individual their impact on diffusion particular efficient technologies or practices, our analysis takes a broader view examines mix existing policies aimed at stimulating reductions use. empirical focus paper is goals buildings Finland United Kingdom (UK). We trace development mixes during 2000–2014 analyse emerging overall characteristics. based mapping instruments, documentary semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. find that both countries increasingly complex mixes, encompassing variety make use range instrument types encourage users consumption. Despite shared EU influence, way which evolved were found be quite different.

At first sight the purpose of energy efficiency is plain: it to reduce amount used and carbon emissions associated with design operation things like buildings, domestic appliances, heating cooling technologies, or organization bureaucratic, business industrial processes. National international responses climate change are dominated by policies that promote people who take this be a self-evidently important thing do. Established criticisms, including those which focus on problems rebound, draw attention unintended consequences such strategies, but rarely challenge conceptual foundations 'efficiency' as topic in its own right.

It concluded if reduced any significant scale, then essential consider meanings levels service types consumption demand support perpetuate.

Energy transitions face multiple barriers, lock-in, path dependencies and resistance to change which require strategic policy efforts be overcome. In this regard, it has been increasingly recognised that a multiplicity of instruments – or instrument mixes are needed foster low-carbon transitions. addition, over the past few years broader conceptualization for sustainability emerged we adopt in special issue. Such perspective not only examines interaction instruments, but also captures corresponding strategies with their long-term targets pays greater attention associated processes. It encompasses analysis overarching mix characteristics such as consistency, coherence credibility, well design considerations. Furthermore, embraces actors institutions involved developing implementing mixes. To explicitly consider these further aspects mixes, issue includes fifteen papers different analytical perspectives drawing on range social science disciplines, environmental economics, innovation studies sciences. is our hope conceptual empirical advances presented here will stimulate diverse future research inform advice energy

To meet global climate goals an energy transition is needed. However, transitions are complex and long-term processes require a variety of public policy interventions to steer their direction speed achieve change mitigation targets. One area where support required efficiency, which offers high potential for carbon savings. It widely acknowledged that efficiency improvements will need be faster deeper than currently the case this requires instrument mixes both those measures simple cost-effective as well more costly technologies. In other words, well-targeted comprehensive. paper, we address issue comprehensiveness in terms technology-specificity level complexity costliness measures. We use existing dataset produced part pan-European effort understand 14 EU Member States efficiency. Based on empirical analysis our segmentation types role overall mix, illustrate using comprehensive mix rather single instruments.

As buildings throughout their life cycle account for circa 40% of total energy use in Europe, reducing the building stock is a key task. This task is, however, complicated by range factors, including slow renewal and renovation rates buildings, multiple non-coordinated actors, conservative practices limited competence to innovate. Drawing from academic literature published during 2005–2015, this article carries out systematic review case studies on low innovations European residential sector, analysing drivers. Specific attention paid intermediary actors facilitating innovation processes creating new opportunities. The study finds that qualitative has been limited, particularly regarding existing stock. Environmental concerns, EU national local policies have drivers; financial, knowledge social sustainability equity drivers modest importance; while design, health comfort market played minor role. Intermediary organisations individuals important through five processes: (1) individual projects, (2) niche markets, (3) implementing housing stock, (4) supporting business model creation (5) post-construction. intermediaries included both public private authority agents acted as several cases.

EU member states have been encouraged to introduce energy efficiency obligation schemes (EEOS) help meet saving objectives. As a result, there are now 15 EEOS in existence, compared with just six prior the introduction of 2012 Energy Efficiency Directive. At same time, long-standing Denmark and UK faced challenges because concerns over increasing costs. This paper considers role current future national policy. Firstly, this sets out more detail place Then, longer-established is explored, using as case studies. Recent planned redesigns these two countries detailed, analysis factors which led changes policy ambition. For new EEOS, key risks delivery savings an over-ambitious target time line absence learning opportunities.
