PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
BARRIO aims to address the fragmentation of renovation interventions by aggregating demand at neighbourhood level, developing supply business models, and rolling out industrialized prefabricated solutions for deep renovation towards a decarbonised building stock. BARRIO provides a holistically designed Defragmentation Multidisciplinary Toolkit (DMT). The DMT key component is an Aggregated Prefabricated Industrialised Plan (APP) APPs Generation tool- a digital tool for matching the needs for interventions on clusters of buildings with aggregated offer of services/solutions. The DMT effectively tackles the multiple challenges of large-scale renovation projects by clustering buildings for renovation and aggregating demand stakeholders so that their needs/challenges will be mapped and interventions prioritised. The DMT also overcomes the fragmentation of supply stakeholders by creating synergies and designing tailor-made risk-sharing frameworks based on flexible business models for aggregated interventions. Industrialised prefabricated solutions are selected to activate renovation in each ecosystem so as to maximise economies of scale and to foster smooth retrofitting and the defragmentation of local supply chains. Accordingly, demand and supply needs will be integrated into staged renovation roadmaps. The thorough analysis of demand and supply will set the ground for designing the APP generation tool on the basis of the renovation roadmaps. The APPs will match aggregated demand with aggregated offer and calculate costs and benefits of all the combinations. APPs will be validated by involving stakeholders of 4 ecosystems selected according to different renovation market maturity. Quality enhancement is achieved through customized upskilling programs for BARRIO stakeholders. Finally, effective validation of the BARRIO business models will ensure long-lasting replication, upscaling and mainstreaming of the BARRIO solutions during and after the Project lifetime.
