Decarbon-Home provides research excellence in the intertwined and ongoing climate-related and social challenges which necessitate a major transition in the Finnish housing system. Decarbon-Home analyses the housing system challenges from environmental, technical and social science perspectives to form a comprehensive understanding and create novel, human-centred solutions to climate-wise housing, especially via renovations.

The consortium brings together researchers from the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), University of Helsinki (both institutes HELSUS Institute of Sustainability Science and URBARIA Institute of Urban and Regional Studies), Finnish Environment Institute (Syke), University of Vaasa and Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech, Estonia).

Decarbon-Home is funded by the Strategic Research Council (SRC) established within the Research Council of Finland.
