Energy Efficiency in Multi-family Housing - A Social and Environmental Necessity
This study explores energy efficiency not as a technical problem, but rather as a complex social and environmental issue. The objective of the study is to assess to what extent current housing, energy and social policies in Latvia facilitate or discriminate against the participation of low-income groups in energy efficiency building renovations. The author, Ms. Guntra Aistars, prepared this study while working for the Green Library in Riga. Ms. Aistars finds a lack of clear incentives to improve energy efficiency and a lack of targeted housing programs for low- to mid- income groups.
