Interviews with SHARED GREEN DEAL Experiment Participants - Efficient Renovations

The SHARED GREEN DEAL (Social sciences & Humanities for Achieving a Reponsible, Equitable and Desirable GREEN DEAL) project aims to drive progress towards EU Green Deal targets. At the heart of this EU Horizon 2020 project are six streams of innovative, participatory social experiments focused on six Green Deal priority areas: Clean Energy, Circular Economy, Efficient Renovations, Sustainable Mobility, Sustainable Food, and Preserving Biodiversity. Experiments for each of the six streams were implemented in four locations across Europe between April 2023 and June 2024. The experiments were lead by local partners (NGOs and local, regional, or national governments). Whilst the activities undertaken by each of the local partners differed across expriment stream, a core component of each experiment was that different stakeholders were involved. Upon the completion of the SHARED GREEN DEAL experiments, each local partner conducted around 10 interviews with participants involved in their experiment (totalling around 40 interviews in each stream). The purpose of these interviews was to learn more about individuals' experiences of participating in the local experiment. The interviews were carried out in spring 2024. Within the Efficient Renovations stream questions covered a range of topics including their general experience of the experiment, the impact of Knowledge Networks on understanding/supporting the undertaking of energy efficient renovations, the social dynamics and impacts of the experiment, and recommendations for policymakers/those interested in undertaking activities similar to those undertaken in the experiment. This Zenodo upload includes 1) the consent form and interview protocol used during the interviews and 2) the anonymised interview transcripts for the Efficiant Renovations experiment stream. These interviews were conducte by the experiment stream's local partners: Habitat for Humanity (Hungary), Let's Renovate The City (Lithuania), ECODES (Spain), and Climate Action Louisburgh Locality (Ireland). There are 40 transcripts in total.
