National Roundtables to Implement the Smart Finance for Smart Buildings Initiative in Slovakia and the Czech Republic - GreenDeal4Buildings (Green Deal for Buildings)

Project description

Smart energy efficiency investments in Czechia and Slovakia

Energy efficient renovation of Europe's building stock hinges on smart financing. Public financing should motivate private investments in energy renovation to achieve the Green Deal’s objectives. The role of public and private stakeholders, particularly innovative SMEs, is key. The EU-funded GreenDeal4Buildings project will establish roundtables to implement smart financing for smart building initiatives in Czechia and Slovakia. The project will deliver eight stakeholder roadmaps and action plans to develop three project pillars: residential and non-residential buildings, industrial buildings, and smart infrastructure. The roundtables will be permanent discussion forums involving government, regional and local authorities, financial institutions, energy service providers, building owners, and operators across the energy efficiency value chain and construction sector.

Objective

The overall objective of the project is setting up the Roundtables to implement smart finance for smart buildings initiative (SF4SB) in Slovakia and the Czechia, working out with stakeholders roadmaps and action plans aimed at developing the three pillars that underpin the initiative and launch implementation of the roadmaps with implementing short-term measures agreed in the roadmaps and the action plans before end of the project. The Roundtables dedicated to energy efficiency investment will be permanent multilateral discussion forums gathering the relevant stakeholders such as government, regional authorities and municipalities, financial sector, ESCOs, homeowners, operators throughout the energy efficiency value chain and construction sector. The majority of operators in the construction sector in are SMEs (large proportion are micro enterprises). Moreover, many SMEs in the energy efficiency value chain, particularly in energy performance of buildings, are essential for market disruptive innovations that are making the energy transformation in building sector successful. Therefore, the project will put particular focus on SMEs. An essential aim of the renovation efforts in both countries will be organizing renovations into larger blocks to benefit from better financing conditions and economics of scale. Therefore, the roadmaps will underpin the necessary coordination and support for creating a large-scale pipeline of bankable projects through aggregation of large number of small projects to feed the financial schemes developed by the financial sector with investment packages of a critical size for making the use of the private sources of financing as efficient and effective as possible.
