Energy & Environment, 2013, vol. 24, issue 1-2, 83-103

Abstract: This paper compares two flagship policies in the area of energy efficient building refurbishment, the German CO 2 -Building Rehabilitation Programme and the Green Deal in the UK. Although both policies are essentially loan programmes to finance energy efficiency measures, the nature of the two policies is very different regarding scope, financial architecture, integration with other policies, and carbon reductions. The paper draws out the main differences of the programmes as well as similarities.
