Foreword by Markus Schwaninger This is an important book. Stefan Groesser wanted to make both a substantive and a methodological contribution. Firstly, he set out to explain the dynamics of standard setting, by means of dynamic modeling and simulation. For this purpose he chose the diffusion of innovative energy technologies in the Swiss building sector as an exemplar. Secondly, he strove to contribute significantly to the methodology of dynamic modeling and simulation, with an emphasis on System Dynamics, the modeling and simulation methodology from MIT pioneered by Professor Jay Forrester. These were highly demanding aims. The author
