Abstract
This review aims to identify, appraise and synthesise the evidence available on the effectiveness of energy efficiency measure installations, including those bundled with behavioural interventions. The synthesis will estimate the overall impact of these interventions as well as examine possible causes of variation in impacts. We will also attempt to assess the cost-effectiveness of residential energy efficiency interventions.
Highlights
Scientists agree that human activities are causing widespread climate change, and that reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is crucial to mitigating the global environmental and health threats caused by climate change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], 2014)
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that residential usage accounts for 22% of the overall global final energy use and 17% of emissions (IEA, 2019)
We focus on two types of residential energy efficiency interventions (REEIs): efficiency measures (EEMs) installation with and without behavioural interventions
Summary
Scientists agree that human activities are causing widespread climate change, and that reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is crucial to mitigating the global environmental and health threats caused by climate change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], 2014). There are reductions in global CO2 emissions, improved outdoor air quality, an increase in the number of jobs created due to the installation of EEMs, and an increase in value of the building stock (Campbell et al, 2014; Filippidou et al, 2019; Russell‐Bennett et al, 2019). These outcomes are expected to lead to two long‐term impacts on society. REEIs are one of the EIB's priority areas as described in the EIB Energy Lending Policy and closely linked to the European Commission's Renovation Wave Strategy announced in October 2020 (European Commission, 2020)
