Energy Efficiency Incentives and Uk Households

Abstract

The energy efficiency of a domestic property depends upon the way that it was built and subsequent improvements. The latter could have been installed by the landlord, if it is rented, or with the aid of a Government grant, or because the occupant wished to reduce running costs. In all circumstances, the external trigger could have been rising energy prices, a desire to improve the value of the property, to minimize maintenance, or simply to be warmer. The relative importance of these and other factors in stimulating energy efficiency improvements is poorly understood. A better analysis of who has paid for energy efficiency - and why - will help determine future policies and ensure the appropriate level of investment expenditure if environmental targets are to be met.
