Unlocking the Renovation Wave: Deep-renovation solutions developed by EU-funded projects
To achieve 2050 targets, buildings’ energy needs must be reduced massively to improve their energy performance in line with the Energy Efficiency First Principle. To that end, existing buildings need to transform into energy-efficient buildings, with a circular approach and a reduction of whole life-cycle carbon. But they also have to better answer occupants’ needs and account for social inclusion.
A number of EU funded projects are currently developing and demonstrating solutions for the deep renovation of buildings, to unlock the EU Renovation Wave. They develop different types of innovative renovation packages, circular and digitalised approaches, as well as novel business models and marketplaces.
This workshop, hosted by NEBULA, gives you the opportunity to meet 7 of those projects: REHOUSE, FORTESIE, CHRONICLE, EBENTO, SMARTeeSTORY, INPERSO and MULTICARE. They will present their results and discuss cross-cutting issues such as technical, regulatory and social barriers, business models, and how their innovations have to go beyond energy efficiency and embrace the values of circularity, inclusiveness and aesthetics.
