Supply-system-neutral integration of renewable energies (RE) in rented buildings, taking into account the development of carbon pricing

The switch to renewable heat supply technologies requires investment costs on the one hand. On the other hand, changing the energy source changes the operating costs. The aim of the project is to investigate the challenges and opportunities of the heat transition for tenants and landlords and to develop solutions for a fair distribution of costs. This includes the following elements in particular:

• Analysis of the legal framework and identification of legal barriers for the relevant renewable heating systems: heat pump, boilers run with renewable fuels, district heating and solar energy.
• Development of different legal frameworks for removing legal barriers and enabling a fair distribution of costs in the rented building stock.
