PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
Our LIFE Street HP Reno project aims to deploy collective purchasing approaches for energy systems replacement by heat pumps for individual homes at the scale of entire streets. For this we want to work with all relevant stakeholders : - Local authorities (cities), housing organizations and residents to convince them of the advantages of the approach and to aggregate a maximum of demand, thereby making heat pumps buy-in-schemes emerge. - Installers and solution providers, to involve them in the process and encourage to develop adapted, packaged, prefabricated and industrialized solutions, less expensive, more qualitative, with possible new services fitted to the ecological transition. All of this should lead to a reduction in costs and to the mass deployment of heat pumps in renovation, as a lever for decarbonizing heat in existing housing. We wish to work on 3 axes : - 1st axis : characterise and qualify the typologies of individual housing on the scale of entire streets to better target the buildings adapted to the collective purchase of heat pumps, while integrating it into a deep renovation process in line with the energy efficiency and decarbonization objectives by 2050 (WP2). - 2nd axis : develop and make available to stakeholders a set of financing packages and the collective buy-in-scheme contracts, based on a consumers panels survey to better understand their expectations and on viable and widely replicable economic models (WP3). - 3rd axis : raise awareness among local authorities, installers and solution providers, then conduct a marketing campaign among residents to trigger a viral effect, thereby significantly increasing the interest towards this approach. This should lead to the emergence of pilot/test projects that will provide feedback for future following projects (WP4).
