Framing the benefits of European Union policy expansion on energy efficiency of buildings: A Swiss knife or a Trojan horse

European Policy Analysis, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 219-243, Summer 2023., 2023
Abstract This paper analyzes through qualitative and quantitative analysis of European Union (EU) policy documents the framing of EU policy on energy‐efficient buildings from the 1970s to 2022. We find that it has been framed in different ways over the decades and the framing has expanded to include more and more benefits.
