Equipping buildings with automated, massive and customized Building Renovation Passports as an effective tool to drive deep renovation
The construction sector, responsible for over a third of the EU's energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, plays a pivotal role in achieving the EU's 2050 climate neutrality goal. The upcoming revision of the Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) is part of a comprehensive package aiming to address this, but despite broad consensus on the importance of building renovations, the current rate stands at 0.2%.
OneClickRENO seeks to accelerate building renovations in the EU, contributing to a zero-emission building stock. Utilizing Building Renovation Passports (BRPs), it aims to make the benefits of comprehensive renovations tangible, providing a phased roadmap for specific buildings to facilitate cost-effective and well-planned interventions for property owners and investors.
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 (Geographic Information System) based web environment
By enabling different existing EPC/ energy calculators/ energy renovation design tools access to the BRPs generation according to a building location and a user profile
Homeowners will be provided with automated, relatable and easy to understand BRPs through simple (one-click) web tools. Its’ coverage and reliability is based on the official schemas, 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 fulfills building and/or user potential specificities, delivering to their customers a real renovation plan through the same web tool.
