Resources 26 September 2024 Narrowing the split incentive gap to decarbonise the built environment
This report provides a roadmap to accelerate the decarbonisation of buildings by bridging the ‘split incentive’ gap. Split incentives impact both renewable energy and energy efficiency decisions. They occur when those investing in energy efficiency upgrades - typically building developers or landlords - do not directly benefit from their investment as it is the tenants who enjoy lower energy costs when paying their bills directly to the energy provider. This has the effect of disincentivising landlords and building developers from investing time and money into decarbonisation efforts.
