Projects:
Analysis of Market Failures and Behavioral Factors Affecting Energy Efficiency Investments in the Residential Sector (Supported by TUBITAK 1001)
This project aims to empirically analyze the market failures and behavioral factors affecting residential energy efficiency investments in Turkey. The phenomenon known in the literature as the “Energy Efficiency Gap” highlights that individuals and households do not invest in cost-effective energy efficiency improvements at the expected level. This project will examine the impact of financial constraints, information asymmetry, hyperbolic discounting, inattention, peer effects, and uncertainty on household investments in energy-efficient appliances and insulation.
RentalCal Project (supported by Horizon2020)
The RentalCal project focuses on the current level of energy efficiency investments in the rented housing sector, which is in danger of missing EU policy targets. RentalCal will show a clear road map towards a sustainable housing stock and is developing models and tools for assessing the commercial viability of energy efficiency retrofitting in rental properties. This will reduce split incentive barriers – translating the positive effects of energy efficient and sustainable construction into real value and financially feasible investments for the real estate industry.
