Question 1 (policy) is examined in Chapters 2 and 3. Chapter 2 is based on the book Policies and regulations on sustainable building (Sunikka, 2001) and the ar- ticle Sustainable buildings in Europe: Government policies and regulations (Sunik- ka and Vijverberg, 2002) (published in Open House International, 27 (2), pp. 30- 37). Chapter 3 is the article Fiscal instruments in sustainable housing policies in the EU and the accession countries (Sunikka, 2003) (published in European Environ- ment, 13 (4), pp. 227-39).
Question 2 (response) is answered in Chapters 4-6, the article Environmental policies and efforts in social housing: the Netherlands (Sunikka and Boon, 2002a) (published in Building Research and Information, 31 (1), pp. 1-12; see also
