re-MODULEES is a comprehensive initiative aimed at overcoming barriers to large-scale renovation in the European residential sector. It seeks to capitalize on the outcomes of previous EU projects by transitioning from solid exploitation plans to actual market uptake envisioning 3 transition paths to achieve this goal:
1. Capitalizing on Available Outcomes: This involves gathering reliable data, identifying target groups, auditing both supply and demand sides to understand the diversity of retrofitting markets across EU MS’s. It established a standard modular architecture for deep energy retrofitting at the EU level, clustering markets based on common challenges and opportunities.
2. Digitalizing Access to Outcomes: The focus is on creating a decision support system that addresses the varied landscape of EU retrofitting markets. This includes customizing solutions to each market's maturity and the needs of professionals, aiming to enhance the value of professional work, standardize features, and increase productivity. The platform involves establishing methodological frameworks, developing the digital architecture, and a calculus engine for cost-optimal procedures.
3. Implementation through Renovation Hubs: This path is about demonstrating the viability and attractiveness of the modules at the national and local levels. It involves engaging consumer-members and regional stakeholders in co-creation processes and testing automated decision support system tools and services in seven selected pilot markets.
The project is particularly focused on engaging relevant stakeholders in the renovation value chain, including social housing companies, private homeowners, condominiums, ESCOs, construction companies, investors, architects, and concept developers. It addresses the specific challenges and profiles of these stakeholders, providing tailored solutions and support mechanisms.
Local Advisory Boards were established in each pilot market to activate and validate local renovation practices, ensuring they are aligned with local needs and regulations. These LABs will consist of stakeholders from financial, technical, social, and legislative fields, working in harmonized tasks to achieve a wide-scale market impact.
The concept includes a range of services such as knowledge provision on holistic renovation, on-site analysis, technical inspection, funding procurement, and project management. It outlines a direct approach to market engagement through various channels and considers the costs and revenues associated with these activities.
