    Le développement de l'innovation au profit de l'habitat hautement efficace en énergie: Opportunités et défis liés à l’adoption des maisons passives

    No full text
    Ces dernières années, nous avons vu une reconnaissance du potentiel significatif qui existe dans la réduction de l’utilisation de l’énergie par le biais de l’innovation dans les logements résidentiels, tout particulièrement les maisons passives. Pour exploiter ce potentiel, nous avons besoin de préciser les défis innovants et d’identifier les opportunités qui peuvent amener à une adoption rapide de concepts énergétiquement hautement efficaces. A ce sujet, ce nouveau livre montre par l’exemple, interprète et développe la théorie de l’adoption de l’innovation en évaluant les vues et les expériences en partant de l’offre, de la demande et de la réglementation. Il met en avant les trajectories réussies ainsi que les obstacles vécus par les entreprises. Il se consacre tout autant aux problèmes qu’aux expériences réussies vu de la perspective de l’utilisateur final et s’attache à envisager différentes approches. Ainsi, la recherche révèle d’importantes potentialités d’adoption de l’innovation dans le secteur du bâtiment. Elle montre de quelle manière la collaboration entre les enterprises joue un rôle majeur ; l’étude recommande aussi la mise en oeuvre de schémas d’assurance qualité. Ce livre contribue au débat concernant le rôle que doivent jouer les réglementations gouvernementales et celui des réseaux d’entreprises.OTB ResearchOTB Research Institute for the Built Environmen

    Passive house networks: A social innovation targeting innovation in SME's in the construction sector

    This study examines opportunities for the emergence of SME networks regarding highly energy-efficient housing, as well as the barriers they face. A theoretical innovation diffusion model is developed from the point-of-view of social and environmental entrepreneurship and sustainable consumption. The qualitative analysis reflects key elements from the theoretical model and is based on a representative case study of a successful passive house network located in the Belgian Flemish Region. Data were gathered during the emergence of the network, by means of participant observation and action-based (thematic innovation) research. Interviews provided further supplementary information. The study concludes that the successful emergence of an SME network regarding highly energy-efficient housing requires a holistic approach, in which both enterprises and clients are guided in each step of the innovation-decision process. In their role as intermediaries between clients and firms, change agents should be supported by policy that facilitates networks for innovation diffusion.OTB ResearchOTB Research Institute for the Built Environmen

    Innovation development for highly energy-efficient housing

    No full text
    Buildings account for 40% of EU final energy demand and policy developments like the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive are stimulating the innovation development for nearly zero-energy housing. However, businesses switching to innovative products for highly energy-efficient houses is a process that is poorly understood. To accelerate nearly zero-energy housing, all obstacles that currently restrict the distribution of innovation - experienced by end users, businesses and policy makers - must be defined and tackled simultaneously. These barriers and opportunities have been described in detail in a market study, three business innovation studies, three studies on end user experiences and three policy studies. These studies were recently assembled in a book. The enterprise studies confirm that collaboration between companies is essential to innovation, even beyond the usual ad-hoc knowledge application and the individual collaboration during demonstration projects. One major obstacle is the transfer of the necessary technical knowledge and skills by the few pioneers to the other companies. Manufacturers, in particular, play a key role in the adoption of innovation and the transfer of new insights to small and medium-sized enterprises, which are a key target group for the market introduction of new concepts in the building sector. Only a small group of occupants is interested in the energy savings and new forms of sustainable living. The study shows that end users can be motivated by low energy costs and improved living quality. They may be adequately satisfied with their homes, particularly with the high level of comfort. The policy studies confirm that the government should play a more active part in getting energy-efficient housing off the ground, especially house renovations: the business community should be encouraged to develop more innovations which requires financial resources. Manufacturers and suppliers switching to innovative products for ultra energy-efficient homes is not a standalone process of companies promoting technologies which consumers then use. Innovation is a diffuse process which must be approached from a policy perspective as well as the demand and supply perspectives.OTB ResearchArchitecture and The Built Environmen
