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
