Abstract
This chapter begins with a review of some recent literature on innovation in the residential sector. The chapter takes up the challenge of discerning which institutions can successfully intervene in the total sociotechnical system of the built environment to steer it toward sustainable performance. In doing so, it moves from discussions of what needs to be done to reduce carbon emissions in the existing housing stock, and draws attention to who will do it and how. Specifically, it focuses on the role of so-called “intermediaries,”, their expertise, and their ability to enhance (or inhibit) the implementation of sustainable strategies in existing residential buildings.
