520    "The embedding of energy efficiency in the management of 
       individual housing organisations is crucial for the 
       realization of current ambitious energy efficiency 
       policies. This issue is examined for the first time in 
       this book through an analysis of selected case studies in 
       new 'green' buildings, as well as in the retrofitting of 
       existing housing, maintenance and budgeting. The links 
       between policy ambitions, practice and housing management 
       institutions are given particular attention. Thus the book
       is primarily concerned with how ambitions about energy 
       efficiency are carried forward in investment decisions at 
       the housing estate level. Technical and financial issues 
       relevant for this are also addressed. The editors combine 
       a wealth of experience in comparative research on housing 
       policy and housing management with a strong academic 
       background in housing studies and economics. The book aims
       to be internationally comparative including a range of 
       countries. A chapter will be devoted to each of the 
       following countries:- Sweden; Denmark; Germany; The 
       Netherlands; England; France; Switzerland; Austria; Czech 
       Republic; Slovenia; Canada. The book will appeal to a 
       large audience of students and academics who are concerned
       with housing issues, urban policy and politics as well as 
       to those engaged in research in energy efficiency policies
       in the built environment"-- / Provided by publisher
