- Abstract
Home insulation intention of home owners and renters is explained by a set of determinants: home characteristics, energy-related household behavior, attitudes, expectations, and sociodemographics. In a survey among 845 owners and 1101 renters, differences between owners and renters with and without insulation, are shown. Some home characteristics, attitude components, and expectations are significant determinants, although the level of explained variance is low. Home insulation intention of renters is mainly a matter of expected savings and expected high energy prices. For owners, comfort and an expected favorable household financial situation are the main determinants.
