iBRoad2EPC model Renovation Passport
A blueprint for success: How a modular renovation passport can accelerate deep renovation

The iBRoad2EPC project, funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 programme, developed an affordable, adaptable and modular renovation passport that helps Member States meet most of the mandatory and optional requirements for renovation passports listed in the EPBD, according to their national priorities and targets. This approach also helps Member States to bridge the gap between EPCs and renovation passports, integrating them to motivate building owners to undertake staged deep renovations.

Energy communities and citizen-led initiatives for sustainability in buildings

What if citizens could not only be active participants in the energy transition but also reap economic and social benefits?
Collective, non-discriminatory, citizen-driven initiatives that support the clean energy transition and energy communities start mainly as renewable energy projects. These initiatives are increasingly involved in the progressive renovation and decarbonisation of the building sector. They aim at collective social and environmental well-being rather than profit, often with the additional objective of combating energy poverty by making the cost of energy more affordable.
