Prospects for dissemination of near-zero energy buildings (nZEBs) in Pland: a perspective of sociocultural theories

Abstract

Near-zero energy buildings (nZEBs) in Poland seem to disseminate more slowly than expected, even though they will inevitably become a standard, as a consequence of European Union regulations. The paper discusses the barriers already identified, demonstrates ones which have not been further known yet, having deeper sociocultural roots, and aims for providing effective solutions of the problem.
