The FinEERGo-Dom project’s goal was to replicate the successful implementation of the Latvian Building Energy Efficiency Facility (LABEEF). The core of the project was to establish a pipeline of renovation projects with guaranteed savings. The projects were to be carried out in collaboration with Energy Service Companies (ESCOs), using LABEEF’s Energy Savings Performance Contracts or Energy Performance Contracts (EPC + or EPC+) for renovation.

The objective of this report is to perform a thorough analysis of best practices in refinancing instruments for energy efficiency service (EES) in four REFINE project partner countries: Austria, the Czech Republic, Belgium and Latvia. The case studies will serve as model examples for the further development of the refinancing instrument concepts suitable for other EU countries. A structured description of each case study provides uniformity and comparability of the refinancing schemes.

In this report an overview is provided of different initiatives, business models, experiences and success cases, addressing the refurbishment of existing buildings across the world.

This note presents a comprehensive set of policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the development of One Stop Shops (OSS) as a critical tool to achieve the objectives outlined in EU climate and energy legislation. These recommendations are the result of collaborative efforts between Save the Homes Consortium partners, with the input from national organisations of property owners, facilitated by the International Union of Property Owners (UIPI) umbrella association.

The documents summarize the main results of "Save the Homes" project, which offered a full customers journey in 5 stops: Stop 0 Onboarding Stop 1 Design: Social design by co-creation with the homeowners Stop 2 Elaboration: Organizing the financing, purchasing of renovation kits and the preparations for the construction of the renovation works Stop 3 Construction: Realization of proven quality in interaction with homeowners and a peer-to-peer Renovation Community, as part of the Citizen Hub Stop 4 In-use: Monitoring of total performances in practice for ensuring sustainable quality of building and user experience
