Strengthening the movement

Welcome to EU Peers, the European Community of Practice for Integrated Home Renovation Services (IHRS)! The Community is guided by the vision of a sustainable world, and focuses on the European building sector. Our aim is to significantly increase the residential energy renovation rate by strengthening and upscaling the movement of IHRS providers (one-stop shops) and supporters.

The revision of the European Policy Building Directive (EPBD) marks the beginning of a new phase for one-stop shops and their supporters. Together, we are turning the vision into reality and striving for climate neutrality by 2050.

Our Action

A Community driven by change

EU Peers follows a roadmap and a theory of change. Primarily, we offer opportunities through which the work of the members can develop further.

In addition, we contribute to improving framework conditions, especially in the implementation of the Revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

Understanding the status quo

Through a comprehensive survey and working with our members, the existing situation of Integrated Home Renovation Services is assessed.

Presenting the work

We publicise the work of one-stop shops and other members, emphasise innovations in the field and publicise the diversity of approaches.

Advocating for change

With the support of our members and the Advisory Board, we are dedicated to improving legal and financial framework conditions for building renovations.

Insights

Get the latest news and updates from the EU Peers Community and Project.

It has been 22 years since the first Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) came into force. Two decades in which climate change has gone from being an abstract concept on panels of experts to something as tangible as sweat in March due to 35ºC, knee-deep water in the living room after torrential rains to pay 10€ for a litre of olive oil produced in an ever-dry countryside. Also, in the last twenty years, climate change and sustainability in general have gained space in the public and political agenda.
The first Baltic Platform EU Peers community meeting brought together experts, stakeholders, and project leaders from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to discuss pressing challenges and opportunities in building renovation. The online event emphasised the importance of adopting scalable and sustainable renovation practices, particularly for multi-family buildings, while fostering regional collaboration.
The Energy Agency of Plovdiv (EAP), a member of the EU Peers Community, is leading the charge for sustainable and energy-efficient housing renovations in the Plovdiv Region, Bulgaria. Through the MultiHome project and its first Residential Renovation Expo, EAP has brought together homeowners, authorities, and industry professionals to tackle challenges in housing renovation and implement innovative solutions. The Project focuses on fostering collaboration, as well as sharing expertise, and promoting advanced energy-efficient technologies.
