Actions taken to remove barrier of split incentives and boost green procurement
Publication metadata
The building sector consumes more energy than any other economic sector in Europe and numerous studies in the literature have demonstrated its significant energy saving potential and benefits (Ryan & Campbell, 2012; BPIE, 2011; Ürge-Vorsatz, et al., 2013). Even in the face of increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption, studies have shown that a substantial part of the energy efficiency potential in the building sector is unrealised and many otherwise profitable energy efficiency investments remain unexploited. Modernising the building sector is associated with a number of barriers, including the issue of split incentives. Stemming from transactions whose benefits do not accrue to the person who pays for it, split incentives affect various building segments: privately rented homes, multi-apartment buildings, social housing units and leased commercial or public premises. Article 19(1)(a) of the Energy Efficiency Directive (Directive 2012/27/EU) recognises the importance of addressing the barrier of split incentives in the building sector.
