In both the EU and China, buildings account for a significant proportion of overall energy consumption and emissions in their respective economies. In Europe, buildings are responsible for about 40% of total energy consumption. China’s building sector accounts for more life-cycle energy consumption than any other sector and the vast majority of buildings in both regions have not yet been renovated to reduce emissions, leaving potential for significant energy efficiency improvements. This study focuses on the role the market plays in driving fu
