Deep Retrofit Community of Practice: Highly ambitious regions and projects across Europe

As a partner event of the EU Green Week, the Deep Retrofit Community of Practice: Highly ambitious regions and projects across Europe web conference brings together regions and energy agencies to discuss renovation strategies.

This webinar features also one-stop-shop projects (OPENGELA, SuperHomes2030, SunHorizon, and Renvo’Occitanie), to offer a complete outlook of the sector: from upskilling, policy, implementation, examples to future developments. In addition, it looks at replicating and expanding upon the work of diverse actors, while driving the innovation and implementation of the deep retrofit sector and the associated value chain of stakeholders. 

Finally, this will be the opportunity to present the HP4All project which will enhance, develop and promote skills required for high quality, optimised Heat Pump installations within residential/non-residential buildings, bringing Europe to the forefront of the climatisation sector.
