CHALLENGES AND POTENTIALS TO ACHIEVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY TARGETS IN THE BUILDING SECTOR IN SELECTED CEE COUNTRIES: POLICY BASED ENERGY DEMAND SCENARIOS UNTIL 2030

摘要

The preliminary results show different energy saving potentials among the countries despite the same policy instruments (Ambitious policy scenario). These differences are due to the different climate conditions, energy prices and costs of investments which have an impact on the effectiveness of renovation measures and the corresponding renovation rate of the building stock, which is often considered as the main indicator for an effective policy. The full paper will include an economic comparison of renovation activities in the selected countires which will form the basis regarding conclusions for economic incentives of policy making or potential cooperation between countries. Ambitiuos policy scenario shows a high energy saving potential in the building sector. Hovewer, to achieve these energy savings, a very intensive desing of policy has to be implemented.
