“…The exploratory approach gave us the opportunity to shed further light on the roles of knowledge intermediaries in transitions. Such explorative, inductive approaches have proven auspicious in identifying intermediary roles in particular topics (Polzin et al 2016;Kanda et al 2018;Kivimaa et al 2020;Klewitz et al 2012). We adopted a regional scope, as the collaborative development of regional innovation capabilities is a key element of German innovation policy (Eickelpasch and Fritsch 2005).…”

“…Despite apartment buildings accommodating one-third of Finland's population, they have become the focus of energy policy only recently (Kivimaa et al, 2020). Several recent, cross-sectoral policy developments position housing cooperatives at the forefront of energy policy.…”

The climate urgency requires us to transition to an efficient, renewables based economy as soon as possible. This book is a welcome and timely contribution to the energy transition policy discourse in the Baltic Sea region. I am sure the experiences and best practices from across cities, regions and states will inspire action far beyond the region."Krista Mikkonen, Minister of the Environment and Climate Change of Finland "We already know that decarbonizing our economies at the pace and scale called for by climate science will face unprecedented obstacles. Increasingly, however, we are discovering that the greatest obstacle may not be a dearth of technological solutions or finance, but one of public opinion: whether expressed in the form of localised resistance against renewable energy projects or rejection of national climate action by a wavering electorate, lacking social acceptance threatens to undermine progress towards the necessary energy transition. Drawing on a region that offers pioneering insights, the diverse group of authors represented in this book offers a unique perspective and valuable lessons on perhaps the most intractable climate policy challenge yet."

“…Luminescent solar concentrators (LSC) have been considered as one of the most effective solution to promote the diffusion of the photovoltaic (PV) systems in the urban environment. Although discovered in 1977 [1] the utilization of the LSC technology has only recently been fueled by the European Directive supporting the concept of Net Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEBs) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. NZEBs are buildings with zero net energy consumption, that is on an annual basis they balance their energy consumption with the production of renewable energy.…”

This study reports for the first time the use of waterborne polymers as host matrices for luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). Notably, three types of waterborne polymer dispersions based either on acrylic acid esters and styrene (Polidisp® 7602), acrylic and methacrylic acid esters (Polidisp® 7788) or aliphatic polyester-based polyurethane (Tecfin P40) were selected as amorphous coatings over glass substrates. Water soluble Basic Yellow 40 (BY40) and Disperse Red 277 (DR277) were utilized as fluorophores and the derived thin polymer films (100 μm) were found homogeneous within the dye range of concentration investigated (0.3–2 wt.%). The optical efficiency determination (ηopt) evidenced LSCs performances close to those collected from benchmark polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) thin films and Lumogen Red F350 (LR) with the same experimental setup. Noteworthy, maximum ηopt of 9.5 ± 0.2 were recorded for the Polidisp® 7602 matrix containing BY40, thus definitely supporting the waterborne polymer matrices for the development of high performance and cost-effective LSCs.
