Transdisciplinarity in energy retrofit. A Conceptual Framework

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020
Abstract This study explores the role of Energy Retrofit (ER) in Low Carbon Transition (LCT). The literature recognises the need to move towards a transdisciplinary approach in ER, which encompasses multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. However, the fragmentation between different disciplines remains a significant problem, mainly due to ...
