Abstract:	Das Ziel dieses Forschungsprojektes besteht darin, Verhaltensanomalien und Marktversagen zu untersuchen und empirisch zu quantifizieren, die als Hindernisse für energieeffiziente Investitionen im Schweizer Gebäudesektor wirken. In diesem Zusammenhang beziehen sich Verhaltensanomalien auf Abweichungen von Entscheidungsträgern bei der Berücksichtigung der Vorteile und Kosten von Energiespartechnologien infolge verschiedener Befangenheiten, begrenzter Rationalität und Heuristiken. Ergänzend zu diesen Verhaltensfaktoren analysieren wir auch die Rolle der Co-Benefits von Energieinvestitionen. Die in diesem Bericht untersuchten Investitionen konzentrieren sich auf energieeffiziente Sanierungen bestehender Gebäude sowie auf die Minergie-Technologie für Neubauten. Dieser Schlussbericht fasst die Informationen des Projekts zusammen und schliesst es ab. The goal of this research program is to investigate and empirically quantify behavioural anomalies and market failures that act as barriers to energy-efficient investments in the Swiss building sector. In this context, behavioural anomalies refer to differences among decision makers in fully considering the benefits and costs of energy-saving technologies due to various biases, bounded rationality, and decision heuristics. In addition to these behavioral factors, we also analyze the role of co-benefits of energy investments. The investments studied in this report consist of energy efficient retrofits for existing buildings and the Minergie-technology for new buildings. This final report summarizes and concludes the activities of the project.
