Problems, solutions, and institutional logics: Insights from Dutch domestic energy-efficiency retrofits

Home Energy-Efficiency Retrofits

Environmental Health Perspectives • volume 119 | number 7 | July 2011 A 283 acquiesced to that point in a reply to the first of several letters to the editor by Brondum (2007) on the same topic. However, Braun et al. (2007) noted that including such information is not always possible when, for example, the use of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data or other constraint...

Valuing improvements in comfort from domestic energy-efficiency retrofits using a trade-off simulation model

There are a number of stimuli behind energy efficiency, not least the Kyoto Protocol. The domestic sector has been highlighted as a key potential area. Improving energy efficiency in this sector also assists alleviating fuel poverty, for research is now demonstrating the strong relationship between poor domestic thermal efficiency, high fuel poverty and poor health and comfort status. Previous ...

Avoiding Health Pitfalls of Home Energy-Efficiency Retrofits

Domestic energy efficiency improving algorithms

Due to increasing energy prices and the greenhouse effect more efficient electricity production is desirable, preferably based on renewable sources. In the last years, a lot of technologies have been developed to improve the efficiency of the electricity usage and supply. Next to large scale technologies such as windturbine parks, a lot of domestic technologies are developed. These domestic tec...
