Abstract
The value proposition for low carbon living is defined as the articulation of the measurable value an organisation or individual will receive from the experience; where the end value equates to the perceived benefits minus perceived costs. This means that the value of low carbon living is unique to the perspective of the investor, and the set of benefits and costs included in the economic equation are related only to those likely to be perceived by the investor.The literature documents a wide range of private and public benefits and costs associated with low carbon living. The literature relating to low carbon living is particularly rich, describing the benefits and costs associated with different building typologies, different climates and different development scales. Empirical evidence is available from individual buildings, multiple unit buildings, and collections of buildings.The literature provides evidence of benefits and costs associated with energy and water saving technology and behaviour strategies, low carbon construction strategies, and the application of renewable energy technologies in low carbon buildings. Evidence is also available regarding the value of innovation that is stimulated by regulatory and non-regulatory actions to deliver low carbon buildings.
