Abstract
The market for low energy buildings is developing fast in
the Northern Europe. The objective of this study was to
analyze the market of low energy buildings in the region
by surveying key stakeholders about the issue. Two sets
of surveys were conducted in Northern European countries:
one questionnaire was aimed at individuals and families
considering building a new house to find out their
willingness to build a low energy house, and a second one
at experts to map the barriers and drivers existing in
the market. This paper presents preliminary findings for
four participating countries. The study confirms that
builders are generally interested in low energy buildings
and that experts see growth in the market segment in the
future. The continuing fast development of the industry
can be expected with confidence if the present sentiment
prevails
