The Smart Cities Marketplace is an initiative supported by the European Commission bringing together cities, industry, SMEs, investors, banks, research and other climate neutral actors. The main aim is to improve citizens’ quality of life, increase the competitiveness of European cities and industry, and to reach European energy and climate targets.

The booklet takes into consideration the technical, financial, social and governance perspective of building envelope retrofits, also taking into account implementation barriers and upscaling potential. As a result from the analysis conducted and presented in the booklet, half of the retrofit projects realise savings of 50-75% of the total final energy demand.
