Forskning

The goal of Georgios' research is the development and implementation of a Product-Service-System (under the name One-Stop-Shop) to address the renovation needs of detached and semi-detached houses (project under the supervision of Professor Krushna Mahapatra). His research aims to identify the market opportunities for such a system (having Sweden as country of reference) and examine the characteristics and relationships between the different actors in the renovation market, both from the supply and demand side. The goal of his research is to develop a business model that will have application in the Swedish market and that could be a point of reference for similar markets around Europe. Moreover, Georgios' research aims to contribute to the identification of gaps in the current policies for energy efficiency in buildings, and to empower collaborations between micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprizes in the construction industry.
