Do dwellers in Bulgaria and Latvia have energy saving practices in their dwelling and what are the justifications thereof? Do they make any relation with climate change and their environment knowledge? Data are drawn from a qualitative survey (about 20 in-depth interviews in both countries) on dwellers' renovation works and their motivations. This comparison is part of a larger EU-funded project on energy performance labels in several EU countries. Depending on data collection issues, the comparison may be extended to Czech Republic as well.
