Diffusion of Building Standards

Dear colleagues,

I work in the field of general ecology at the University of Berne/Switzerland. For a research project, I create a SD-Model whose scope will be sketched briefly in the following:

- Model about traditional and energy-efficient house construction (supply
chain)
- Diffusion of energy-efficiency-Standards in a specific region in Switzerland
- Decision processes of actors in the building environment (Why do actors build an energy-efficient house or not)

Question:
Does anyone know about existing work loosely related to the topic aforementioned (e.g., decision making about energy-efficient technologies or diffusion of political decisions in a defined population)

I would be thankful for hints regarding existing work. You can contact me by the email addresses provided below. Thanks very much in advance.

Best personal regards
Stefan Groesser
