3. THEORETICAL BACKGROUNDThis chapter shows a critical literature review of relevant theory to answer the first threeresearch questions. The following research questions are answered in this chapter:1. What is sustainable renovation?2. What are factors of influence on the performance of a sustainable renovationconcept?3. What are factors of influence on the market implementation of an innovativesustainable renovation concept in the Netherlands?Paragraph 3.1 concentrates on research question 3 that is stated above. Paragraph 3.2 &3.3 concentrate on research question 1. Paragraph 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 provide informationabout research question 2, which results in the identification of factors of influence on theperformance of sustainable renovation concepts. The identified factors of influence areprocessed in a first concept of the performance evaluation model, which is presented inparagraph 3.7, page 44. Figure 9 provides an overview of the four research componentsof this research that provide input for the model development. Paragraphs 3.4, 3.5, and3.6 put together the research components 1 & 2 (see figure 9).1. Literature study2. Evaluation existing tools3. Interviews4.

This information is usedto answer research question 3, which is stated below.3. What are factors of influence on the market implementation of an innovativesustainable renovation concept in the Netherlands?Subparagraph 3.1.1 elaborates aspects of adoption and implementation of innovations.Subparagraph 3.1.2 elaborates legislation and rules that are relevant at implementing asustainable renovation. Subparagraph 3.1.3 evaluates innovative concepts that could becompetitive concepts of WarmBouwen. Subparagraph 3.1.4 describes the technicalfeasibility of the concept. Lastly, the aspects „organization‟ and „process‟ that are requiredto facilitate implementation of the WarmBouwen concept are elaborated in subparagraph3.1.5.3.1.1 ADOPTING AND IMPLEMENTING AN INNOVATIONThis subparagraph elaborates aspects that play a role at the adoption andimplementation of innovations.20
HUMAN BEHAVIORIn his report, Hoppe (2009) describes that the human perception of short term costs andlong term profit forms an important problem in recognizing environmental danger. Toexplain this problem, scientists define different explanations.Hoppe describes that environment-psychological and -economical insights explain thathumans are mentally unable to pick up signals of deterioration and simultaneouslyprocess these signals to create measures that prevent the consequences from occurring.There is coherence between this process and the overestimation of the individual intereston the short term compared to the common interest on the long term. (Hoppe, 2009)SYSTEM CHANGEOne of the problems by implementing innovations is the current system, which can leadto a system „lock-in‟. Due to a process of path-dependability rules, policy, and practiceshave been tuned on certain concepts in history. This process causes the „lock in‟ position,which leads to a situation whereby alternatives of the system evoke a lot of resistance.This „lock-in‟ can be considered as a protection mechanism of a dominant acceptedconcept against alternative concepts. (Hoppe, 2009)To break through this „lock-in‟, a change process has to be started. According toDieleman (1999), change processes depend upon three factors: confrontation, reflection,and experiment and common learning.In the declaration of system change, two dimensions can be distinguished.1. The extend into which the system changes2. TimeChanges can be declared by the ensemble of layers in the social system: the micro-,meso- & macro level. On micro level there are technological niches. The meso level is thelevel that is determined by the presence of socio-technical regimes. The macro level isthe socio-technical landscape. This level is the broad exogenous context of a socialsystem (Hoppe, 2009). Next to the three different socio-technical levels, there are alsofour different phases which are relevant for innovative concepts before a system changetakes place. These phasesare: the pre developmentphase, the lift off phase, theacceleration phase, and thestabilization phase. In the predevelopment phase, there isstill a mismatch between theinnovative concept andeconomical, social en politicalsystems. The concept is stillnot fully developed. In the liftoff phase, the innovativeconcept is applied in littlemarket niches that providesources to stimulate furthertechnical specialization. Inthe acceleration phase, thebreakthrough of the concept takes place. In the stabilization phase the innovativeconcept changes the current socio technical regime. Figure 10 shows a graphicalpresentation of the system change in time within a social system.ADOPTION OF INNOVATIONFIGURE 10-DEVELOPMENT PHASES, (DIELEMAN, 1999)Next to system change, the adoption of innovations by customers in time is important.To say something about adoption of innovations by customers, Rogers (2003) has put up21
