Localized policy design for clean heating transitions: a multi-city analysis of renter preferences for energy efficiency by Graeme Troxell, Steve Conrad, Reuven Sussman

“…IntroductionThe transition to clean heating systems in rental housing is crucial for achieving net-zero emissions goals, yet current policy frameworks lack systematic understanding of how renter preferences vary across different market contexts. While existing research acknowledges split incentive barriers between landlords and tenants, analysis of their manifestation across diverse demographic groups and market conditions remains notably absent.MethodsThis study employs latent class analysis of discrete choice experiment data from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy to identify distinct renter segments and their responses to energy-efficient rental options. …”
