日本語
ラトビアの集合住宅居住者35人へのインタビューと会議観察から、省エネ「効率性」と「充足性」が日常の改修判断でどう解釈されるかを分析。 affordability・時間軸・主体性という3つの緊張軸を特定し、両者が補完的か対立的かは構造的条件に左右されると示す。政策・経済・福祉の目標矛盾により、制度的支援なしには持続可能な消費に結びつかないと論じる。
English
Drawing on 35 interviews, homeowner-meeting observation and citizen labs in Latvia, the paper examines how residents interpret efficiency (retrofit) and sufficiency (demand reduction) in multi-apartment renovation decisions. It identifies three structuring tensions—affordability, temporal horizons and agency—whose antagonistic or complementary character depends on structural conditions. Without support schemes addressing inequality and institutionalising sufficiency, vernacular logics risk reproducing unsustainable consumption.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の集合住宅・省エネ改修政策やZEH/MaSBI支援制度を、居住者の「十分性」認識と不平等の観点から再考する材料になる。脱炭素の需要側アプローチを制度設計にどう織り込むかという論点を提供する。
In the global GX context
Adds a demand-side, justice-oriented lens to the global retrofit and building-decarbonisation debate, relevant to EU EPBD implementation and to disclosure frameworks that increasingly ask about transition-plan social dimensions.

🔬研究者:効率性と充足性を vernacular logic として捉える分析枠組みは、需要側脱炭素研究に社会実践論の視角を加える。
🏢実務担当者:集合住宅の改修・省エネ提案では、費用負担と意思決定の主体性を踏まえた住民コミュニケーション設計が有効だと分かる。
🏛政策担当者:改修支援策を不平等是正と充足性の制度化と結びつけないと、需要削減が進まない可能性を示唆する。
📄 Abstract（原文）
Housing is a key site of energy transition policy, where efficiency (technological retrofits) and sufficiency (demand reduction) are increasingly framed as complementary strategies. Yet how residents understand and apply these strategies in everyday decisions about multi-apartment building maintenance remains poorly understood, particularly in post-socialist contexts where economic inequality and distinctive local notions of ‘enoughness’ intersect. This article develops a relational understanding of efficiency and sufficiency as vernacular logics of energy saving, questioning when efficiency and sufficiency emerge as contested versus complementary; how structural factors shape residents’ interpretations; and when vernacular sufficiency logics align with or diverge from environmental goals. Drawing on 35 semi-structured interviews, participant observation of homeowner meetings in five Latvian urban areas, and two citizen thinking laboratories, I read these tensions through the framework of agonistic politics. The analysis identifies three structuring actor-based tensions – affordability, temporal horizons and agency – with each holding different potential for antagonism and sustainability based on conditional factors. The vernacular use and understandings of efficiency and sufficiency are structured by transnational, national and local policies, business practices, social disparities, orientation in one’s life cycle, infrastructural breakdowns and infrastructures for action. Despite environmental efficiency and sufficiency narratives gaining traction, economic, responsibility- and collective-action-related narratives often create friction with environmental concerns due to inherent contradictions in policy, environmental, economic and welfare system goals. Without broader mechanisms and support schemes that address inequalities between households and institutionalise sufficiency, vernacular sufficiency and efficiency narratives and practices are likely to reproduce unsustainable consumption.
