Project description
An energy efficiency boost for German homeowners
Germany’s energy transition hinges on the successful decarbonisation of the building stock. However, not all property owners are making energy efficiency investments. In this context, the EU funded GREEN Home project will review the finance and funding, construction and housing technology, as well as legislation and communication and process support. Its goal is to connect all stakeholders from politics, business and civil society that are related to energy-efficient renovation in German homeowner associations. To connect stakeholders, the project will establish roundtables as joint discussion forums to identify the obstacles and potentials of energy efficiency measures. The overall goal of the project is to reinforce the renovation potential and make an active contribution.
Objective
The basic idea of the project Green Home is to connect all relevant stakeholders from politics, business and civil society that are related to energy efficient renovation in German homeowner associations (HOAs). The project particularly sheds light on four topic areas: 1. finance and funding, 2. construction and housing technology, 3. legislation and 4. communication and process support.
In order to connect the stakeholders, the project aims at establishing roundtables as joint discussion forums. Via these roundtables, the project seeks to identify obstacles and potentials of energy efficiency measures in HOAs. Additionally, the project seeks to develop and promote ready-to-use tools and instruments for the implementation and finance of energy efficiency measures. Thereby, the project will include the experience of best practice examples from other European countries as well as lessons learned from past EU projects.
On that basis, the project serves the overall goal of a better implementation of energy efficiency and renewable energies in the area of homeowner associations. By supporting HOAs and property managers to systematically integrate energy efficiency measures and renewable energies into their decision-making process as well as their long-term finance planning, the project will help lift the considerable renovation potential in the fields of HOA and can make an active contribution to reaching the ambitious European Union goal of climate neutrality until 2050.
