Energy Policy, 2019, vol. 127, issue C, 341-349

Abstract: Increasing energy efficiency of buildings by renovation and thermal insulation is widely seen as means to lessen energy demand and to increase thermal comfort. However, costs of renovation and the dangers of displacing low income, energy poor households due to rent increases are generally not addressed in literature on benefits of thermal insulation.
