Spreading the renovation wave to neglected market players

The event will delve into the role of the EU Peers project in involving society as an asset in the achievement of local authorities’ renovation targets.  

There is a large group of our society which is often neglected by energy efficiency solutions and market players, but that can substantially impact on the targets of the renovation wave. 1- or 2-persons households, low-income people, refugees, etc… are often left aside from big renovation works. It is time to change the paradigm and involve them in the market!  

Decision-makers and market-players shall acknowledge the fact that renovation rests on the shoulders of individual homeowners.  

There is a need to look at the societal aspect of the renovation/construction world, to look at the habits and behaviours of vulnerable people, because only by building their trust we can truly accompany them throughout the renovation of their homes.
