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.
