The role of financing in the energy renovation of single-family and private-owned multi-family houses: Recent findings, potential solutions and open questions

G	Justus Gallati Lecturer and senior Researcher

Abstract
In this project, we investigate the need for complementary financial instruments to accelerate energy retrofits. In particular, we investigate public-private partnership approaches between banks and the public sector, which could be used as a complement to subsidies. A quantitative survey amongst homeowners and interviews with the financial sector have provided first indications regarding the demand for additional financial support and possible solutions. Currently, we are investigating whether further energy retrofits could be initiated by a modification of the banks' lending policy and if so, which regulatory adjustments would be necessary to achieve this.
