Abstract
Household satisfaction levels have been examined extensively, though none of the earlier studies examined the effects of energy labels. This research adds to the literature by examining the effects of green energy labels. Additionally it deviates from existing literature by examining the effects on multiple levels of household satisfaction as well as the stability of the effects of green energy labels over time and between types of tenure. WoON survey data from 2012, 2015 and 2018 is examined using a binary logistic regression analysis. The regression results indicate a significant, positive effect on both housing and residential satisfaction when households live in a home with a green energy label compared to inefficient energy labels. The effects of the most energy efficient labels are increasingly, positively affecting household satisfaction levels throughout time, whereby the least energy efficient green label C is becoming less or even insignificant due to an ever-increasing average energy efficiency of the Dutch housing stock throughout time. Also, the effects of green energy labels on household satisfaction levels are the strongest for owner-occupiers, predominantly driven by label B and C. Contrary to the effects of energy labels on housing and residential satisfaction, energy efficient green labels do not affect the likelihood of households’ satisfaction with life in general.
