PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
Integrated Home Renovation Services (IHRS) offer holistic solutions for home renovations and are a fundamental part of a new enabling framework aiming to break barriers to renovation.
OBJECTIVES
The overall objective of the EU Peers project is to support the development of IHRS as a key instrument for accelerating residential energy renovation in the EU. The first generation of IHRS will strongly benefit from an exchange of experience and convergence to foster residential retrofit. EU Peers will thus contribute to a faster and better implementation of IHRS models across Europe, providing start-up aids to emerging IHRS initiatives.
The EU Peers project’s specific objectives are the:
- Creation of a European Community of Practice of IHRS practitioner, involving more than 600 members, including 175 services.
- Establishment of seven community platforms, in six priority countries (Italy, France, Spain, Latvia, Hungary and Ireland) and for other EU countries.
- Elaboration of an online knowledge repository and digital collaboration tool for networking among peers.
- Delivery of more than 30 capacity building sessions.
- Organisation of 45 exchange & collaboration meetings at national and European level.
- Coordination of 12 stakeholder dialogues to tackle improvements in the collaboration among actors along the renovation journey.
- Advocacy for improved framework conditions for building renovations: European and national policy recommendations will be developed.
- Organisation of a campaign to engage public authorities to support the IHRS deployment in their area, targeting public authorities across Europe.
