| Title | Problems concerning the implementation of energy efficient measures in the buildings sector. A comparative study of Sweden and Hungary. |
| Summary | The aim of this thesis is to highlight the problems concerning the implementation of energy efficient measures in the buildings sector in Sweden and Hungary, where the implementation of innovative technologies could lead to a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The thesis partly concentrates on the policy side of the implementation problem, but not only. It also aims to show all the implementation levels on which the problems can occur regarding the fulfilment of new requirements set by new policies, and also provides arguments as to what should be taken into consideration when a new construction takes place. The introduction of low-energy buildings and passive systems are the innovative solutions this thesis explains more in depth, also illustrating the problem with some case studies in Sweden and Hungary. Innovative energy efficient solutions are applied in the case of new buildings, but the challenge of retrofitting the old building stock is a vital issue in both countries. Besides being a comparative study of Sweden and Hungary, the thesis provides a general overview of what could be improved regarding policies, and what the current state of energy-efficient measures is. |
