In 2019 governments across Europe set the goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Through its high share of energy use and carbon emissions as well as great potential to reduce emissions, the building sector is seen as central to achieving these ambitious goals. Within the European Union (EU), buildings are currently responsible for approximately 40% of energy consumption and 36% of carbon dioxide emissions. Considerable attention to date has been paid to reducing greenhouse gas emissions of buildings and increasing building sustainability in the planning and construction phase whereas the existing, less energy efficient building stock has received much less attention. Further, there is a lack of focus on post-occupancy studies and the impact of green buildings on users. The proposed research addresses this gap focusing on building users through the relationship between designing, building, retrofitting and thinking about green buildings and daily practices of living and working in green buildings what we refer to as ‘lived sustainabilities’. It investigates changes to daily social practices of living and working in green buildings that are shaped by interdependences between discourses on green building including expectations, framings and understandings as well as the green buildings themselves. This perspective emphasizes the potential transformative power of green buildings and their specific materialities through behavioural changes, social values and practices. Existing buildings and building traditions, materials and styles affect perceptions and lifestyles as much as societal conventions of home and work life. Beyond the building itself these attitudes, practices and identities intersect with and influence other aspects of life including health, mobility, employment and education. As contexts vary across space, the project foresees a multi-sited comparative research design of post-occupancy practices that includes geographical and social variations. It involves an in-depth qualitative study of green residential and office buildings in two neighboring but distinct study regions: Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Data will be primarily collected through workshops, (walking) interviews, focus groups and surveys with green building actors and users as well as reflective journals and photo diaries of users. The insights generated from the proposed research will inform policy and practice in relation to how green building can be promoted and the possible resistance to such policies at different spatial scales. It will contribute to a better understanding of the spatially variegated sociopolitical contexts and processes of green building transitions emphasizing the role of users.

2019 年，欧洲各国政府制定了到 2050 年实现温室气体净零排放的目标。由于建筑行业在能源使用和碳排放中所占的比例较高，而且减排潜力巨大，因此被视为实现这些宏伟目标的核心。在欧盟 (EU) 范围内，建筑物目前约占能源消耗的 40% 和二氧化碳排放的 36%。迄今为止，在规划和施工阶段，人们对减少建筑物的温室气体排放和提高建筑物的可持续性给予了相当多的关注，而现有的、能源效率较低的建筑却受到了较少的关注。此外，缺乏对入住后研究以及绿色建筑对用户影响的关注。拟议的研究通过设计、建造、改造和思考绿色建筑与绿色建筑中生活和工作的日常实践之间的关系来解决这一差距，重点关注建筑用户，我们称之为“生活可持续性”。它调查了在绿色建筑中生活和工作的日常社会实践的变化，这些变化是由绿色建筑话语（包括期望、框架和理解）以及绿色建筑本身之间的相互依赖所形成的。这种观点强调绿色建筑的潜在变革力量及其通过行为改变、社会价值观和实践的具体重要性。现有的建筑和建筑传统、材料和风格影响着人们的观念和生活方式，就像家庭和工作生活的社会习俗一样。除了建筑本身之外，这些态度、实践和身份还与生活的其他方面相交叉并影响，包括健康、流动性、就业和教育。由于空间环境各不相同，该项目预计对使用后实践进行多地点比较研究设计，其中包括地理和社会差异。它涉及对两个相邻但截然不同的研究区域的绿色住宅和办公楼的深入定性研究：德国莱茵兰-普法尔茨州和卢森堡大公国。数据将主要通过研讨会、（步行）访谈、焦点小组和对绿色建筑参与者和用户的调查以及用户的反思日记和照片日记来收集。拟议研究产生的见解将为有关如何促进绿色建筑以及在不同空间尺度上对此类政策可能产生的阻力的政策和实践提供信息。它将有助于更好地理解空间多样化的社会政治背景和绿色建筑转型过程，强调用户的作用。
