Call for papers: Retrofitting at Scale: Accelerating Capabilities
Colleagues, <br> <br>SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS: RETROFITTING AT SCALE: ACCELERATING CAPABILITIES <br> <br>Deadline for abstracts: 13 July 2020 <br> <br>This is a reminder that the closing date for abstracts is rapidly approaching. <br> <br>This Buildings & Cities special issue investigates the specific challenges for the accelerated delivery of domestic energy retrofitting at different scales – national, municipal, neighbourhood and individual sites. <br> <br>Although much discussion has occurred on #buildbackbetter, two key questions are the development of appropriate capabilities and how these can be scaled up / accelerated / coordinated with confidence. <br> <br>Topics for the special issue may include (but are not limited to): <br> <br>• Translating national and city level goals into clear targets for retrofit of the domestic building stock <br>• The governance and regulation of retrofit: legislation, regulation, enforcement, incentives <br>• Planning and coordination perspectives: what new roles for planners, building control and assessment professions? <br>• Policy analysis of municipal actions / programmes on building retrofits and their intended outcomes. <br>• Top-down vs bottom-up approaches; incentives for participating in mass retrofit programmes <br>• The inclusion of embodied energy / carbon in the total calculation <br>• Training, skills and certification of schemes for construction professionals and individual projects <br>• What capabilities and capacities do firms (SMEs and micro-enterprises) require to undertake retrofit? <br>• Supply chains for retrofit: coordination and management of domestic retrofit at scale <br>• Logistics and construction management: the potential for reducing unit cost of retrofit and increasing quality <br>• The business case (e.g. financial model) for retrofit and new business models for both private and public sectors <br>• Contractual: performance-related outcomes, consumer protection, service-related pricing, performance guarantees <br>• Mass vs individual retrofit for housing: technologies for retrofit at scale (e.g. Energiesprong, off-site, incremental, etc) <br>• Public engagement/ persuasion: appropriate forms of engagement and empowerment; provision of reliable, independent information for tenants and homeowners <br>• Energy behaviours: how retrofit affects demand; load shifting; new definitions of thermal adequacy, space shrinkage <br>• Coordinating demand reduction with changing energy supply: reducing peak demand, increasing flexibility, and ‘fair usage’ <br>• The development of appropriate standards and retrofit processes for the particular contexts of developing countries <br> <br>Full details: https://www.buildingsandcities.org/calls-for-papers/retrofitting-at-scale-accelerating-capabilities.html <br> <br>Buildings & Cities is an open access, independent, non-profit, peer-reviewed journal. <br> <br>Best wishes, <br>Faye <br> <br>--- --- <br>Dr Faye Wade <br>Deputy Theme Leader and Research Fellow – UK Local and Regional Energy Systems.
