Loops, triangles, and transitions - Participatory Systems Mapping of energy poverty policies
Current policy trajectories integrate energy poverty into decarbonisation policy agendas; the links between energy poverty, building efficiency, and energy prices justify this approach. Energy poverty, however, is a multidimensional condition which intersects several policy sectors. This paper employs a participatory systems mapping method to develop a Causal Loop Diagram depicting the Portuguese energy poverty system. Thirty-five participants we…
(Dis)comfortably numb in energy transitions
Chilling and sweltering at home
Portugal faces substantial energy poverty challenges compared to its EU counterparts, mainly stemming from aged buildings with poor thermal performance. This situation is especially critical for higher education students, who exhibit increased vulnerability to energy poverty due to unstable housing conditions within the private rental sector. Among these students, displaced individuals are notably vulnerable and heavily reliant on the private ren…
Growing up in discomfort
Energy poverty is a growing multidimensional concern worldwide, with children and young people particularly vulnerable. This age group spends a significant amount of time in both their houses and school buildings. To date, there has been little research on the dual vulnerability to inadequate thermal comfort conditions in these two environments. In Portugal, the exposure to inadequate thermal comfort in school buildings varies due to disparities …
Perceptions of competing agendas in carbon neutrality policies in Portugal
The links between the political agendas of climate change, the energy transition, and energy poverty are multiple, complex, and overlapping. In line with European Union policy demands, Member States are implementing the various policies necessary to address these agendas, with an emergent focus on their synergistic potential. Successful implementation requires cooperation between multiple actors, yet little research exists on how diverse actors v…
Comparative analysis of energy poverty definition and measurement in Portugal and Spain
This paper aims to critically analyse and compare the definition and measurement of energy poverty reflected in the national policy strategies in Portugal and Spain and propose recommendations for their enhancement. The analysis is supported by a systematic literature review of indicators in the Iberian context. Results highlight that both definitions can benefit from broadening the scope and increasing the representativeness of energy services a…
As essential as bread
Hard-to-reach energy users
Hard-to-reach (HTR) energy users encompass individuals who are physically difficult to reach, underserved, or challenging to engage and motivate in demand-side energy programmes. Given a mix of societal challenges (e.g. inequity, energy poverty, decarbonisation, the COVID-19 pandemic), HTR energy users are receiving increasing attention. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the performance of interventions that target (explicitly or implicitl…
It Starts at Home
Climate change mitigation, the economy's decarbonisation, and energy poverty reduction are major challenges globally and for the European Union. However, competing agendas might create trade-off situations that hinder the achievement of these goals. Energy efficiency promotion in the residential sector, through the replacement of space heating and cooling equipment, can be an important solution to simultaneously contribute to reducing energy pove…
How much will it cost? An energy renovation analysis for the Portuguese dwelling stock
(Dis)United Kingdom? Potential for a common approach to energy poverty assessment
Harvesting big data from residential building energy performance certificates
The reduction of energy consumption and the increase in energy efficiency is currently an important cornerstone of EU policy. Energy performance certificates (EPCs) were implemented as one of the tools to promote this agenda, and are used for the energy performance assessment of buildings. In this study, the characteristics of the Portuguese dwelling stock are regionally analysed using data from approximately 523,000 Portuguese residential EPCs. …
