Australian Renters Stand to Save $20 Billion Through Energy Upgrades, but Landlord Inaction Remains the Key Obstacle

澳大利亚租客有望通过能源升级节省 200 亿美元，但房东的不作为仍是主要障碍

Australian renters, who constitute nearly one-third of all households, could collectively save an estimated $20 billion on energy bills over the next decade.

占所有家庭近三分之一的澳洲租客，在未来十年内总计可节省估计 200 亿美元的能源费用。

However, this projection hinges on whether landlords are willing to invest in rooftop solar installations, insulation, and efficient appliance upgrades across rental properties.

然而，这项预测取决于房东是否愿意在租赁物业中投资屋顶太阳能设施、隔热材料以及高效能家电更新。

A comprehensive analysis by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis has identified the so-called split incentive as the primary barrier to progress.

能源经济与财务分析研究所的一项全面分析已将所谓的“拆分激励”确定为进步的主要障碍。

The split incentive, a well-documented concept in behavioral economics, arises when the party responsible for funding improvements differs from the one reaping the benefits.

“分配不均的诱因”是一个在行为经济学中被广泛记录的概念，当负责出资改善的一方与获得收益的一方不同时，这种现象就会产生。

In the context of rental properties, landlords bear the capital costs of energy efficiency upgrades, yet it is tenants who enjoy the resulting reduction in utility expenses.

在租赁物业的背景下，房东承担能源效率升级的资本成本，然而享受随之而来的公用事业费用减少的却是租客。

Energy finance analyst Jay Gordon emphasized that this misalignment effectively eliminates any financial motivation for property owners to act.

能源金融分析师杰伊·戈登强调，这种错位实际上消除了房东采取行动的任何财务动机。

The disparity in solar adoption rates starkly illustrates this dynamic.

太阳能采用率的差异鲜明地说明了这种动态关系。

Research from Energy Consumers Australia revealed that 44 percent of owner-occupiers had installed solar panels, compared with a mere 11 percent of rented homes.

澳大利亚能源消费者协会的研究显示，有 44% 的自住业主已安装太阳能板，而租赁房屋的比例仅为 11%。

Were landlords to undertake these upgrades, the benefits would extend well beyond individual savings.

倘若房东着手进行这些升级，其效益将远远超出个人所节省的开支。

The modeling suggested that in the vast majority of scenarios, a combination of insulation, efficient appliances, and rooftop solar could halve a household's energy expenditure.

模型分析显示，在绝大多数情况下，隔热设备、高效家电和屋顶太阳能的组合可以使家庭能源支出减半。

Looking further ahead, the cumulative savings for Australian renters could reach $107 billion by 2050, substantially outweighing the initial capital investment required.

展望未来，澳大利亚租户的累计节省金额到 2050 年可能达到 1070 亿美元，大大超过了最初所需的资本投资。

These figures carry significant implications for climate policy and carbon reduction targets, given that residential energy consumption accounts for a considerable share of national emissions.

鉴于住宅能源消耗在国家排放中占有相当大的比例，这些数据对气候政策和减碳目标具有重大意义。

Analysts have argued that without targeted regulation compelling landlords to meet minimum energy performance standards, the split incentive will persist indefinitely, leaving millions of tenants to shoulder unnecessarily high costs.

分析师指出，若缺乏强制房东达到最低能源绩效标准的针对性法规，拆分激励问题将无限期持续，导致数百万租客必须承担不必要的高昂成本。

Renters could save $20bn on bills in a decade from rooftop solar and appliance upgrades – if...租户通过屋顶太阳能和家电升级，十年内可节省200亿美元账单——如果……
