Employment Impacts of a Large-Scale Deep Building Energy Retrofit Programme in Poland

Project status: 
Completed
Duration: 
Dec, 2010 - Apr, 2012
The goal of the research project is to gauge the net employment impacts of a large-scale, deep building energy-efficiency renovation program in Poland, in the understanding that the low employment rate of the Polish economy makes this a key entry point for decision-making. Therefore, employment impacts strongly correlate with the dynamics of the investments flowing towards building energy retrofits. The study was commissioned by the European Climate Foundation.

Best Practice Policies for Low Carbon & Energy Buildings

Project status: 
Completed
Duration: 
Sep, 2011 - May, 2012
The project constructs and finalizes energy and GHG emission scenarios that estimate the contribution the building sector can make to ambitious climate change mitigation goals. The scenarios focus on heating, cooling and hot water. The scenarios are based on the CEU 3CSEP’s earlier building energy scenario work for the IPCC, the Global Energy Assessment and the UNEP SBCI.
