Desk Analysis Report

The aim is to identify those “institutional” factors that could influence the adoption of the IDEAS innovative energy system. The desk analysis will include two main activities: first, a context analysis (collecting information on relevant legislation, codes and rules related to application of renewable energy technology in buildings, and other relevant data, also related to market conditions at national/regional level). The second activity is the analysis of previous research (published literature, review of EU funded projects) that could provide useful insight on drivers and barriers for adoption of the IDEAS energy system. In particular, the analysis will be addressed to previous studies and projects that adopt a user-driven participatory approach and DMV with Stated Preference methodology to identify those socio-psychological factors that result to be relevant in comparable contexts. This will be completed under task 6.1.
