Innovation in the sustainable renovation sector in ÃŽle-de-France

Chapter 2 in Sustainable Innovation and Regional Development, 2017, pp 50-62 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The aim of this chapter is to analyse innovation in the field of sustainable building renovation. The current context of climate change has put the renovation of the existing building stock high on the political agenda. The chapter shows the existence of mainstream building retrofitting operations aiming mainly at meeting the requirements of public authorities. It also shows the presence of other types of projects, which are seeking exemplarity and in which the symbolic dimension is here very important and structuring. It also shows that innovation is made mainly by ad hoc local innovation networks in which distant relations are very important to access to leading-edge knowledge.
