Webinar: Citizen-led renovation – Barriers, Opportunities and Recommendations

The workshop will explore barriers faced by CLR communities – from technical and financial to social and regulatory – and discuss recommendations to overcome them.

The programme will combine insights from the CLR project and pilot experiences with case studies from Carbon Coop Community and RenoCOOP, followed by an open discussion and Q&A. This interactive exchange aims to gather input from diverse stakeholders and feed directly into the guidance document the CLR project is preparing to support and upscale these initiatives across Europe.

This is your chance to take part in shaping the recommendations!

About the CLR

The Support service for Citizen-led renovation (CLR) is an EU initiative aiming to empower existing and prospective energy communities to put citizens in the driver’s seat for energy-saving renovation projects. Our support service for four selected pilots in Ireland, Portugal, Belgium and Bulgaria is underway to strengthen community building and assist in replicating programmes for energy renovations of buildings, including insulation, new technical systems and installing renewables.

Phase I assisted four pilot projects in overcoming financial, legal, technical, and informational barriers to deliver sustainable residential buildings.

In Phase II, CLR enhances its tailored support services for selected Pilots, Learners, and Followers by providing various levels of assistance. This includes one-on-one sessions, webinars, workshops, peer-to-peer learning, and community-driven events aimed at strengthening local capacities and replicating successful energy renovation models.

Building on this foundation, Phase III of the Support service is scaling up by establishing a network of ten organisations (energy agencies, one-stop-shops for home renovations, energy communities, associations…) to support widespread citizen-led renovation. With a stronger infrastructure and an expanded support network, CLR aims to empower more citizens and communities to drive the transition toward energy-efficient and resilient buildings across Europe.
