Transition towards a zero-carbon building sector: Energy service companies in the construction business ecosystem

摘要

1. The construction sector is a good example of a conventional sector, where personal relations, established codes of conduct and well-known technologies are valued highly.1.1 Understanding the culture and the role of different actors in barriers can help to overcome the energy efficiency gap1.2 Also, the networks and ecosystems of the sector are established; posing barriers to newcomers.2. The barriers related to regulation could be easier to solve than others, since the number of actors causing them is limited3. It is clear that the transparency of the sector as well as the collaboration between different actors should be improved in order to take the next steps in improving energy efficiency.3.1 R&D, demonstrations, pilots.
