POLICY QUESTIONS

(27)

POLICY QUESTIONS

 How to get the construction sector to build nZEBs after 2020? (How to define nZEBs?)

 How to initiate and ensure the transition to a low-carbon and nZEB stock in the long-term?

 How to implement effective, efficient and socially compatible policies promoting this transition?

 How to deal with budget restrictions and difficult economic conditions?

 How to link to traditions and culture?

 How to deal with inertia (of people and the building stock)?

 How to deal with complex decision criteria of different

people?

(28)

POLICY QUESTIONS

 Highly complex

 Very long-term impact (until the end of this century)

 Highly relevant for …

 Energy supply security

 Climate mitigation target

 Comfort of people

 Overall economic conditions

 …



Need for effective support, integrating profound

analytical approaches in the policy discussion process!



Often: Need for scenario analysis regarding the impact of

policy settings!

(29)

PURPOSE OF SCENARIOS?

 To know how the future will look like?

 To know how a certain policy instrument will work?

 To know how much it will cost to implement certain policy instruments?

 To know how to optimise the setting of policy instruments?

 To better understand the functionality, challenges and design options of policy packages!

 This is possible if policy processes are properly

designed and if a continous dialogue takes place!

(30)

POLICY SUPPORT:

A DYNAMIC PROCESS

Clarify the questions

Select methodology, required data, time frame

Define framework

conditions Define policy

packages for analysis Develop policy

impact scenarios

Derive conclusions

 BPIE(BE),

 National Consumer Research Centre (FI),

THE ROLE OF

ANALYTICAL MODELS SUPPORTING POLICY PROCESSES

Dennis Meadows:

„A model is a structured set of assumptions.“

Space heating and hot water energy demand calculation

Options for thermal renovation

(t=t₁… t_n) Technology data space heating and hot water

Policies (t=t₁… t_n) Diffusion restrictions

Simulation results ^(t=t1… t_n) - Installation of heating and hot water systems - Total energy demand by energy carriers (GWh) - Total investments (M€)

- Policy programme costs (M€) etc.

Database heating and hot water sector

(t=t0, input of simulation results for t1… tn) Building stock data

NEED FOR CONTINUOUS DIALOGUE BETWEEN STAKEHOLDERS, EXPERTS AND POLICY MAKERS

 Dialogue as dynamic, iterative process.

 Integrating analytical approaches and models.

 Adressing critical minds for constructive discussions.

 Coming closer to our objective: effective, efficient policies for drastically reducing energy consumption and CO2-emissions of buildings in the EU.

 In ENTRANZE such policy processes are initiated.

 Be part of it!
