The goal of the EU Renovation Wave is to double yearly energy-related renovation rates across the European Union by 2030. With the renovation of their building stock, regions and cities can make a substantial contribution to redu-cing energy and electricity usage, thus reducing their carbon foot-print. This study analysed key renovation concepts and approa-ches, as well as providing guidance to accessing renovation funding for local and regional actors.

ÖIR led the study, conducting a review of relevant EU initiatives and strategies, as well as mega trends affecting renovation activi-ties. Furthermore, this study inclu-ded a review of applicable EU Fun-ding options to promote the transition to energy efficient building stocks. The project team also assembled a compendium of available national funding possibilities for each of the EU-27 Member States.
