PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
The building sector has a crucial role in achieving the target of EU’s climate neutrality by 2050, being responsible for more than one third of the EU’s energy related GHG emissions. The upcoming recast of the EPBD is part of a comprehensive policy package to enable action to meet this ambition, but despite the existing broad consensus on the relevance of building renovation, the current renovation rate remains at 0.2%. The aim of One Click Reno is to contribute to the transition towards a zero-emission building stock accelerating the volume and depth of building renovations in the EU by making visible and tangible the benefits of deep renovations using Building Renovation Passports (BRPs), instruments for the stimulation of cost-effective renovation through long-term staged renovation roadmap for a specific building, helping owners and investors plan the best timing and scope for interventions. OneClickRENO will provide different stakeholders in the renovation value chain with automatically generated and customizable BRPs as an effective and essential tool to drive deep renovation in the EU. This will be provided by means of a GIS based web environment enabling different existing EPC/ energy calculators/ energy renovation design tools access to the BRPs generation according to a building location and a user profile, since OCR will provide homeowners with automated, relatable and easy to understand BRPs through simple (one-click) web tools whose coverage and reliability is based on the official schemas and data sources and user contributed data, from which the theoretical renovation itineraries are offered. The ones selected by users will help, in time, policy makers design and follow-up policies; and energy renovation professionals in charge of EPBD application, who will receive an already compliant BRP to adapt it and assure that fulfils building and/or user potential specificities, delivering to their customers a real renovation plan through the same web tool.
