RenoWave – Promoting energy renovations in residential buildings
This development project is about energy efficiency renovation support. Regional and local authorities and energy agencies from seven Baltic Sea Region countries – Finland, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany and Estonia – take part in this project.
The project aims to increase energy efficiency in the residential multi-apartment building stock. A third of the EU’s buildings are over 50 years old with only very few (ca. 1 %) being renovated each year. In general, these buildings are not professionally managed.
The renovation decision is complicated due to multiple apartment owners, insufficient information on the current energy profile and potential benefits of the renovation.
The development project began in January 2023 and continues until 2025.
The project develops a One-Stop-Shop (OSS) extended model specifically designed for the multi-apartment buildings in the Baltic Sea Region. The project partners will analyze and develop missing services in the partner regions, amend and improve existing services and as a result, provide energy renovation support tailored for the multi-apartment building homeowners.
Their competencies allow them to develop and pilot renovation support services that a full-fledged one-stop-shop should offer in the region, and sustain the OSS's that are established during the project. An important input to the project will come from the already existing networks and homeowners' forums.
