Innovative energy efficiency service models for sector integration via blockchain
The InEExS project aims to promote business models that address market barriers to adopting energy-efficient and renewable technologies in buildings employing digital technology enablers and engaging diverse stakeholders in designing, co-developing, and replicating energy solutions.
Strengthening residential energy renovations through one-stop-shops across scales of action and support
One-stop-shops (OSSs) offer practical solutions for residential energy renovations, providing a single entry point for homeowners and communities. Explore through three related initiatives, how they strengthen neighbourhoods, empower communities and drive scalable energy solutions across Europe.
The OSR-Coop project: cooperative one-stop-shops driving Europe’s citizen-led renovation
Read how energy communities deliver citizen-led renovation (CLR) through cooperative one-stop-shop (OSS) models that simplify renovation processes, include citizens, enhance local trust, and create new opportunities.
Building the one-stop-shop framework for public building renovation
One-stop-shop models help public administrations to cut costs, improve efficiency, and deliver healthier, climate-friendly public buildings for their communities.
Supporting consumers through renovation: the growing role of One-Stop Shops
One-Stop-Shops (OSSs) are driving Europe’s Renovation Wave by turning renovation plans into action. Drawing on examples from the LIFE Clean Energy Transition programme and other EU initiatives, this article explores their business models and showcases concrete OSS initiatives across Europe.
Smart compliance, staged upgrades and quality indoor spaces: EPBD tools that deliver renovation results
How can Energy Performance Certificates, Renovation Passports, the Smart Readiness Indicator and integrated Indoor Environmental Quality considerations turn renovation plans into action? This article explores the tools aligning policies with data, ownership and outcomes.
The OBSERVE project: supporting the development of mandatory energy performance standards and building renovation plans
Reliable and harmonised building data are key to effective renovation policies. The OBSERVE project improves data quality and exchange to help Member States implement renovation plans and energy performance standards under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and renovation trajectories in focus across Member States
EU countries are transposing the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), with a different approach to Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and renovation trajectories. This living news provides an overview of how these measures are being implemented across Europe.
Minimum energy performance standards and progressive renovation trajectories: from the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive to national enforcement
How are Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and renovation trajectories being translated from EU policy into national action? Discover the instruments, data, timelines, and rules reshaping building upgrades across Europe.
Social cost-benefit analysis for addressing the Energy Efficiency First principle
Long-term deep renovations deliver greater societal benefits, but limited household reach weakens policy support.
