21-22 March, 2024. Although building renovation policy is widely recognized as an important factor in the fight against climate change, the modalities of its deployment divide the actors involved, give rise to new entities, and provoke unexpected effects and controversy, both in the design of the instruments and in their implementation.
Technical and commercial innovation continue to play an important role in this field, though other challenges have become more pressing, notably: the overall effectiveness of energy renovation initiatives (implementation of “complete renovations” as opposed to “single-action work”), the need to enhance the skills and coordination of the multitude of small craft businesses involved in these projects, and the ability to support households in defining and managing complex services. The renovation sector is not a single market, it rather provides, as a result of the way in which renovation policies are deployed, a ground for multiple market arrangements.
The objective of these study days is to address these issues through the lens of market recomposition. The aim is to encourage encounters and exchanges between social science research currently being carried out on the topic of renovation from a variety of approaches: through the market, organizations, work, public policies, space, consumption, etc.
