This can lead to resource-intensive interventions that fail to deliver proportional energy savings, cost-efficiency, and carbon emissions reductions. In our recent publication, co-authored with Carolina Recart, Lenneke Kuijer and Roel Loonen, we integrate residents&#039; heating practices into the decision-making process to rethink the scale of envelope retrofits through a sufficiency approach. By aligning retrofit strategies with residents\u2019 heating practices, we identified more suitable solutions, such as moderate retrofits or targeted measures, that deliver higher cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/justprepare.nl\/en\/2025\/09\/11\/integrating-residents-heating-practices-into-energy-retrofit-decision-making\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Just Prepare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-09-11T06:58:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-03-19T14:13:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Merijn\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Merijn\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/justprepare.nl\\\/2025\\\/09\\\/11\\\/integrating-residents-heating-practices-into-energy-retrofit-decision-making\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/justprepare.nl\\\/2025\\\/09\\\/11\\\/integrating-residents-heating-practices-into-energy-retrofit-decision-making\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Merijn\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/justprepare.nl\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/c2691148373234b996086ca8eb7e754c\"},\"headline\":\"Integrating residents&#8217; heating practices into energy retrofit decision-making: a sufficiency-oriented approach\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-09-11T06:58:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-03-19T14:13:29+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/justprepare.nl\\\/2025\\\/09\\\/11\\\/integrating-residents-heating-practices-into-energy-retrofit-decision-making\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":146,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/justprepare.nl\\\/#organization\"},\"articleSection\":[\"Academische Publicaties\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/justprepare.nl\\\/2025\\\/09\\\/11\\\/integrating-residents-heating-practices-into-energy-retrofit-decision-making\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/justprepare.nl\\\/2025\\\/09\\\/11\\\/integrating-residents-heating-practices-into-energy-retrofit-decision-making\\\/\",\"name\":\"Integrating residents' heating practices into energy retrofit decision-making: a sufficiency-oriented approach - Just Prepare\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/justprepare.nl\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-09-11T06:58:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-03-19T14:13:29+00:00\",\"description\":\"In the energy retrofit decision-making process, standardized assumptions about thermal comfort overlook the diversity of residents' heating practices, promoting a one-size-fits-all approach.
