“…For example, the pioneering research of Dinan and Miranowsky [52] revealed that improvements in energy efficiency applied in the real-estate market in Des Moines, Iowa, equaled a reduction in energy consumption of 1 USD (while maintaining the house at a comfortable temperature of 18 • C), which represented a market premium of 11.63 USD in price. In recent years, subsequent studies have addressed the impact of energy labelling on real-estate prices, such as the Energy Star certification [53][54][55][56], the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) scheme [55,56], the Energy Performance Certificates (EPC's) from the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64], and others schemes [65], by identifying different levels in the market premiums associated with better-ranked homes. For example, the study by Bio Intelligence Service [66]-commissioned for the purpose of assessing the European Directive-reveals that the effect of each of the EPC label levels (expressed in letters) on the price ranges from 0.4% in Oxford to 11% in Vienna; it is 4.3% in Marseille, 3.2% in Lille and 2.9% in Brussels.…”

Abstract:In real estate markets where energy efficiency certificates are not mandatory, such as Santiago in Chile, incorporating solutions that respond to the growing demand for sustainability entails a natural tension between their acceptance as necessary measures and the way they are addressed by the market. Under this mechanism, sustainability attributes have been introduced that are communicated individually through real estate promotion. A methodology consisting of two approaches was utilized to investigate the cross-validation of attributes, in terms of supply and demand, and the evolution of them in 8255 real estate advertisements for the period 2012-2017. Their positioning was more evident in higher-value homes, where they were identified as consolidated attributes, while they are considered innovations at the lower end of the market. However, as evidence suggests, sustainability attributes decline in relative importance over time, ceasing to be considered marks of distinction. This suggests that this model should be reviewed from a public policy perspective, with the understanding that the current voluntary standards must compete with other attributes. At the same time, it is necessary to make progress in the improvement of the obligatory minimum standards with the objective of establishing a more demanding baseline that incentivizes competitiveness in the market.

“…These methodologies are undoubtedly valuable, for instance in modelling and evaluating policy instruments depending on technical, economic and regulatory factors [11,21,22]. Furthermore, in modelling, designing, and assessing new technologies and more efficient buildings these contributions from building scientists, engineers and architects are essential.…”

a b s t r a c tDomestic energy demand is a topical policy issue, with implications for climate change, energy vulnerability and security. Domestic energy demand varies considerably by country, climate, building type, and even when these factors are the same, occupancy patterns and inhabitant's lifestyles also create variation. However, clarifying understanding of the basic locus of analysis: the home, house, dwelling, or household has received little attention to date, despite its relevance to debates on energy demand. This paper explores the theoretical and methodological assumptions of investigating the 'house' compared to the 'home' and the implications for domestic energy researchers. We suggest that the ontological priority given to the 'home' results in scholarship which considers both social and physical aspects that shape demand. Conversely, research prioritising the 'house' is dominated by techno-economic thinking, and overlooks critical social considerations. Recognising this important distinction, we conclude with a plea for scholars to be cognisant of ontology and language, and provide some suggestions for a future research agenda.

“…Como resultado, se establece una etiqueta -que formalmente es muy similar al certificado energético aplicado por la Directiva Europea de Eficiencia Energética en las Edificaciones (Official Journal of the European Union, 2003) -y con un ranking en letras que va desde la "A" a la "G, ordenadas de más a menos eficiente y siendo la "E" la que representa el estándar constructivo contenido en la reglamentación térmica vigente. Para obtenerla, se estableció un mecanismo, que la mayoría de las veces hace uso de un procedimiento simplificado por medio de un cálculo Fuerst et al, 2013Gelegenis et al, 2014;Marmolejo, 2016), u otros (Fuerst y Shimizu, 2016), identificando distintos niveles en la formación de los markets premium asociados a las viviendas mejor calificadas. En esa lógica, los desarrolladores inmobiliarios han generado sus productos en base a estos atributos, generando la internalización de los atributos urbanos y estableciendo productos diferenciados según su ubicación espacial.…”
