Energy poverty (EP) is a crucial socioeconomic problem, as it deprives people of a basic standard of living and quality of life.

There are several factors associated with EP, but it is mainly connected with three causes:

• high energy costs,
• low household income and
• energy-inefficient buildings.

REVERTER will develop a number of roadmaps to alleviate energy poverty by addressing the poor energy efficiency of dwellings.

The roadmaps will target the worst performing homes first (“worst first” principle) and will be tailor-made to the characteristics of the building stock, the vulnerable households and the climate conditions, so as to cover a sufficiently cohesive group of cases, allowing for a larger-scale rollout and replication of the proposed actions.

By targeting the worst homes first and by focusing on the most cost and environmental effective renovation methods through integrated assessment, REVERTER will help to upgrade a greater number of homes for a given budget, maximising energy and costs savings while reducing GHG and other pollutants emissions. 

Start date: November 2022 - End date: November 2025
