Background:
A ‘renovation wave’ of public and private buildings will be a flagship initiative of the European Commission in 2020 to address the twin challenge of energy efficiency and affordability. At the same time, the European Green Deal outlines that increasing renovation rates is still a challenge and that action and finance will need to be mobilized to significantly increase the renovation rate. This event will feed into these political developments. It will outline best practice policy and finance examples of how to overcome renovation barriers; and act as an open platform to discuss what further measures are instrumental to deliver better buildings for all.
