“…But the built environment emits GHGs through energy use [13.2], consumes large volumes of water [6.4] and generates waste [12.4] (Zheng et al 2012). For example, out of 159,000 rental properties in 10 U.S. cities just 5.3% to 21.6% had energy efficiency features, though these drive up the rent by 6% to 14% (Im et al 2017).…”

The success of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depends on solving the 'nexus' challenge: how can positive interactions between SDGs be optimised, and negative interactions minimised, in order to create co-benefits and reduce trade-offs? Due to their varying impacts on the SDGs, the economic activities undertaken by organisations present a key lever for operationalising this SDG-nexus. Yet the interactions between individual economic activities and the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development have not been systematically assessed, thus creating a vital operational bottleneck to achieving the SDGs. This paper conducts a systematic review of 876 articles published between 2005 and 2019 to study the nexus between individual economic activities, sustainable development in general, and the SDGs in specific. It finds that studies on agricultural, industrial, and manufacturing activities predominantly report negative impacts on environmental development, while literature on services activities highlight economic and social contributions. Overall, most economic activities are expected to positively impact industrialization, infrastructure, and innovation [SDG 9] and economic productivity [SDG 8], while many help meet basic needs [SDGs 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11]. However, negative impacts are widespread, afflicting ecosystems [SDGs 14 and 15], climate change [SDG 13] and human health [SDG 3]. We synthesise positive and negative interactions between individual economic activities and SDG targets and discuss implications for: integrated (nexus) governance approaches to the SDGs; the role of the private sector in promoting sustainable development; and for improving statistical classifications to monitor economic activities' SDG impacts.

“…After reading the documents, it was found that in each study one or more registries existed to determine the price premium (a register corresponds to a specification of a regression model). The existence of more than one registry depended on the following: (1) The price premium was analyzed based on the commercialization generating one model for sales and another for rental (for example, [25][26][27]); (2) the price premium of data sets from distinct years was analyzed, thereby generating a registry for each year [28][29][30][31]; (3) the models examined the price premium in distinct cities [26,32,33]; (4) the price premium of the housing was analyzed based on construction type (single or multi-family) [34][35][36]; (5) within the study, distinct types of EPC were analyzed [32,37,38]; (6) different qualification groups were analyzed [31,39]; and (7) the price premium was analyzed by comparing whether or not it had certification [40][41][42][43][44], and furthermore, the premium generated upon changing from one value to another within the EPC value scale was analyzed [25,36,45].…”

Meta-Analysis of Price Premiums in Housing with Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

Studies have found that housing with energy performance certificates have a positive premium in sales price. However, other studies have obtained negative or unexpected results. The objective of this study is to determine whether or not housing with energy performance certificates (EPC) have positive premiums in the sales price. For this purpose, a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of prior studies were conducted in order to determine whether the existence of an EPC influences sales price. A total of 66 documents were examined, with a total of 173 sales registers. The impact of having or not having an EPC was analyzed for housing sales price premiums on a global level, as well as the premiums in Europe for each of the ABCDEFG qualification letters. The results suggest that: 1) Globally speaking, it is estimated that housing with an EPC has an overall price premium of 4.20%, on a continent level, with premiums of 5.36% being obtained in North America, 4.81% in Asia, and 2.32% in Europe; 2) in Europe, the results are not conclusive with regards to the ABCDEFG qualification, since there is no consensus as to the letter base to be used as a reference for comparisons, thereby generating small comparable samples.

Ensuring the energy efficiency functioning of housing and communal services and increasing the energy efficiency of Ukraine's housing stock, which is one of the largest consumers of heat energy, requires the search for potential opportunities for managing energy efficiency of buildings. Integration into the world economy obliges Ukraine to adhere to international economic principles, one of which is the growth of energy efficiency.The article examines the experience of the world countries in the field of energy efficiency of buildings on the basis of sustainable building concept. The methodology of calculating the integral rating point of the regions of the country based on their energy saving potential is developed. It can be used to evaluate the potential of energy efficiency management of buildings in Ukraine. As a result of the calculations of the integrated estimation of the energy saving potential, an appropriate ranking and grouping of the regions of Ukraine has been carried out.Improvement of the organizational and technical potential of providing energy-efficient functioning of the housing and communal services of Ukraine and the introduction of effective mechanisms for its modernization on the basis of the sustainable building concept should ensure an increase in the efficiency of energy efficiency management of buildings.
