Description

This document reports a series of mechanisms supporting the market development of passive homes. The reported mechanisms present different impact on the market: some of them mainly aiming to shifting the market shares and others aiming at pulling the markets towards greater energy performance.
These proposed supportive mechanisms had been developed by 6 action sheets addressing six major themes.
Each sheet provides the context and describes the existing advantages and barriers regarding a particular theme and then makes specific recommendations aimed to speed up the development of the market.
The six action sheets focus on: (1) undertaking pilot projects, (2) certification issues, (3) developing training, (4) developing financial mechanisms, (5) boosting communication and information activities and (6) supporting passive design in regulation.
