“…Based on the literature, we indicate that one way to increase the EE of real estate is to use energy-efficient houses (greenhouses) [1,15,[37][38][39]. Another is to renovate and warm old buildings [40].…”

The global energy crisis, which began in 2021 due to the extraordinary economic recovery after the pandemic and intensified after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, has changed the conditions of energy management, paying more attention to energy efficiency. Natural gas prices have reached record levels and, consequently, so have electricity prices in some markets. Oil prices have reached their highest level since 2008. Higher energy prices have contributed to sharply increased inflation. Households are again becoming interested in buying coal as a source of heat. High energy and gas prices have pushed many families into poverty and forced some factories to cut production or even close. They have also slowed economic growth to the point where some countries are heading for a serious recession. Paradoxically, the negative effects of the energy crisis may accelerate the introduction of cleaner, sustainable, renewable energy such as wind and solar energy. The energy crisis is comparable to the oil crisis of the 1970s, when it contributed to significant advances in energy efficiency. The current crisis has highlighted the importance of investments in renewable energy resources and initiated the process of integrating regional markets, developing energy efficiency and promoting renewable energies. The aim of this article is to comprehensively explore the complex relationship between energy awareness, consumption patterns, and energy efficiency, with a focus on both individual consumers and industries, during the global energy crisis. This paper is based on a literature review, overarching policy documents, energy reports, and other secondary documents. The primary research method was the systematic literature review method, based on which the impact of the global energy crisis on energy efficiency was evaluated. This study emphasizes the diverse influences on energy awareness, ranging from economic factors to consumer preferences and environmental consciousness. The findings of the paper underscore the significant responsibility of industries in contributing to energy-saving efforts and the active role of consumers in the energy market. The responsibility of industries in contributing to energy efficiency is highlighted, with a call for a comprehensive approach that integrates energy-saving criteria into product development and corporate social responsibility.

“…The UK government's policy of zero-carbon homes, introduced by the Labour Party in 2006, was aimed at ensuring the sustainability of future housing stock. The aim was to improve the practices of current house builders in terms of the sustainable properties offered by their products and the infrastructure to which they are connected (low-emission heating and electricity) [10][11][12]. A much better example worth emulating here is China, where in the sector of new urban buildings, it is required that 50% of new buildings be green buildings [13].…”

Krakow has a permanent population of over 800,000. The number of inhabitants is increasing year on year due to the influx of working people and students, who often settle in Krakow permanently. This is leading to increased demand and consequently more flats and houses being put into use by developers. The increasing environmental awareness of the population and the resulting financial benefits—particularly evident in 2022—have meant that the classic, or rather ill-considered, building industry is gradually being replaced by better, environmentally friendly solutions. In the first part of the article, the authors focus on smart buildings, and in the second part, they combine them with financial changes in the real estate market. The aim of the publication is to draw conclusions from the changes in the real estate market in Krakow that have taken place in the last decade and to assess these activities from the point of view of environmental solutions. The data are mainly derived from official statistics and trade reports published by research institutes, marketing agencies operating in the real estate sector in Poland, as well as specialist portals and publications dealing with real estate market analysis. The publication analyzes changes in the real estate market in terms of changes in unit prices, number of transactions, and availability. The analysis covers landed property, the primary and secondary premises market, developed property, and tenement buildings.

“…In addition, the response received by a zero-carbon building is initially positive and then becomes negative (Edmondson et al, 2020). The approach is to hand over the construction of zero-carbon homes to the community with the support of financial subsidies and apply a physical framework (local land acquisition), conceptual (relationship between the house and its residents, and affective space (ease of access to administration in different responsible departments) (Lane et al, 2020) (Edmondson et al, 2020).…”

Systematic Literature Review of Housing Policies in Carbon Emission Reduction: Reflection for Indonesia

2023

Housing cannot be separated from the discourse of carbon emissions in all building cycles: planning and design, material preparation, construction, operations, and demolition. Various countries have successfully reduced carbon emissions in the housing sector, one of which is by using policy instruments. However, reviewing the effectiveness of these policies has yet to be thoroughly explored. Using the systematic literature review method, this article aims to identify the policies implemented to reduce carbon emissions in housing and contextualize them for Indonesia. After careful identification of the relevant articles, 16 selected articles were reviewed. The study found that taxation, zero-carbonization, and strategies for retrofitting are adequate policies in many countries. Framework for Indonesia was discussed for recommendations.
