Possible Solutions

The chapter presents a detailed analysis of alternative methods and policy instruments for the energy modernisation of dwellings occupied by low-income tenants. It first examines the German scenario, detailing the KfW programs, public law levies, CO2 pricing, and the potential of building renovation tax and energy tax reform as tools for encouraging energy-efficient renovations. The focus then shifts to Sweden, with an in-depth look at the use of Green Bonds for funding sustainable projects. Additionally, the chapter explores the feasibility of partial warm rent as a novel approach to heating cost allocation in rental agreements. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential solutions and their implications in the context of energy modernisation for low-income tenants.
