Elham Maghsoudi Nia, Queena K. Qian, Henk Visscher
Abstract
• The aging systems, and the house's condition, are important factors that motivate occupants to consider energy retrofitting. • Educating occupants on interacting with the new energy-efficient technologies is crucial to enhancing system durability and performance. Regular monitoring is recommended to keep occupants informed and engaged. • Policymakers need to implement region-specific strategies, including financial incentives, awareness campaigns, and policy interventions, to promote energy retrofitting and improve EER.
