Conclusion

Energy transition affects almost every sector of the economy, with the residential building sector being a significant contributor to overall CO2 emissions. Therefore, decarbonising this sector is imperative. Concurrently, it is vital to ensure that the energy transition does not disproportionately burden low-income households, thereby advocating for a just transition. Low-income tenants, often a more vulnerable social group, typically reside in energy-inefficient housing due to affordability constraints, which precludes them from accessing better living standards.
