Abstract

Energy efficient retrofitting (EER) of existing residential buildings is one of the effective ways to achieve the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals in China. Despite the great efforts in the EEE filed of past years, the effectiveness of EER policies needs to be further improved. From the perspective of homeowners’ motivations for EER, this study aims to optimize EER policies. Based on a questionnaire survey in China, it was found that the motivations for homeowners’ housing EER are multifarious, mainly covering economic considerations, improving living quality, environmental preservation, technical aspects, social identification, and policy responses. On the basis of findings, it is suggested that EER promotion should not only highlight the environmental benefits of EER, but also emphasize the economic, social and technical benefits. Additionally, integrating EER into urban renewal and creating a positive EER atmosphere are also recommended. These findings shed light on EER promotion strategies.
