While many countries have introduced relevant retrofit policy instruments (RPIs), rates still relatively low due to various complications practical implementation. This study aims organize scattered information related RPIs their implementation, success, obstacles across different provide valuable references for strategy development. article examined ERB 11 selected countries. The investigated were grouped into four categories: direction command, assessment disclosure, research service, financial incentives. implementation approaches surveyed summarized compared. Furthermore, uptake schemes identified. Finally, recommendations overcome improve penetration proposed. can assist makers other stakeholders gaining a holistic view buildings, understanding barriers schemes, developing more efficient future.
