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

As part of the SuperHomes2030 project, a ‘one-stop-shop’ deep retrofit service for domestic homes in Ireland, that aims to dramatically scale this service over 3 years, increasing completed retrofits from 100 houses in 2019 (€6M) to 500 houses in 2023 (€36M). This online seminar brings together Ambitious Regions and already running Renovation and One-Stop-Shop EU Funded Projects, to offer a complete outlook for the sector: from upskilling, policy, implementation, examples and future development.

Moreover, 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.
