1. Energy efficiency investments in the commercial real estate business : A study of decision drivers on the Swedish market
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknikSammanfattning : The International Energy Agency has stated that it is more sustainable to improve the energy efficiency of already existing buildings than increasing the national energy production to provide inefficient buildings with even more energy, which would result in that an increased amount of resources required to power the existing energy inefficient building stock. Taken into consideration that buildings in Sweden consume about 40% of Sweden’s final energy consumption and count for about 36% of the total greenhouse gas emissions it becomes evident that in order to decrease Sweden’s carbon foot print, it is important to understand real estate investors decision-making process.
