Abstract: Absract This paper presents relevant theories, approaches and concepts that focus on replication and upscaling of energy-efficient solutions in the building sector. It describes an analytical framework that can be used as an overall guidance/reference for replication and upscaling of solutions from the building level to the district (or neighbourhood) level. The framework consists of multi-level perspective (MLP) and technology innovationInnovations systems (TIS). Furthermore, this paper presents two more topics – (1) long-tern dynamic modelling of building stocks and (2) a socio-economic view on the demand side – to provide a better understanding of the dynamics that are involved in the replication and upscaling initiatives. These two topics would provide additional, relevant information and insight that could strengthen the application of the framework mentioned above. Within the framework and the two supporting topics, this paper highlights three aspects that should be specially considered when it comes to replication and upscaling of solutions from the building level to the district (or neighbourhood) level. They are stakeholdersStakeholders, contextual factorsContextual factors and knowledgeKnowledge (training and knowledgeKnowledge development). These three aspects are related to each other. This paper would contribute to provide support/guidance to replicate and upscale energy-efficient solutions in the building sector at the district (or neighbourhood) level. This is a conceptual paper based on narrative literature study and the authors’ project experience.
