Developments of energy renovations in the Dutch housing stock
The energy transition in the European Housing stock has been supported and steered by various EU and national policies and regulations. The Energy Performance Certificate indicating the energy efficiency of buildings, required by the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), has been an important tool for the existing buildings. It was used to inform and stimulated home owners, but also used to set and monitor improvement goals.
In the Netherlands, Aedes the umbrella organisation for housing associations, created a huge data base (SHAERE) with the EPC’s of more than 2 million dwellings to monitor the progress in reaching the goal of an average label B in 2020. We have used this data bases for several research goals. Within the EPISCOPE project we compared the Developments in the Netherlands with other EU countries. More specifically for the energy transition in the Netherlands we analysed the progress in realising the goals in terms of renovations and actual energy reduction. This is worked out in 3 PhD theses, a special issue of Energy and Buildings and several other Journal articles.
