Bottom-up modelling of households’ energy consumption in buildings (energy-economy link)

Complete the represented economic impacts of the energy transition (energy-economy link):

• Endogenization of energy infrastructure investments in the economic investment submodule
• Dynamic technical coefficients for Input-Output tables: Representation of the changes in the A matrix consistently with the variation in the sectoral final energy intensities and the energy transformation chain
