Project description
Innovative concepts for building renovation
One way to increase energy efficiency is to promote the reliable and cost-effective retrofitting of existing building stock. The EU-funded outPHit project will promote renovation concepts such as the Energiesprong method or one-stop-shop solutions, aiming to support owners and housing companies in achieving fast, reliable and cost-effective building renovations. The concepts rely on findings from real refurbishment projects, addressing a wide range of stakeholders in neighbourhoods, municipalities, financial organisations and the building supply chain. The project will pave the way for small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the market as providers of innovative solutions consisting of conventional retrofitting concepts or highly efficient prefabricated systems. Most of the concepts will also be applicable to educational and office establishments.
Objective
The outPHit project aims to support building owners and housing companies in performing reliable, quicker and more cost-effective deep retrofits. Working on and collecting findings from real refurbishment projects, outPHit will promote renovation concepts like the Energiesprong approach or one-stop-shop solutions, but in highly efficient quality to NZEBs in EnerPHit standard, to stakeholders among neighbourhoods, municipalities, financing institutions and the building supply chain. It will lay the ground for regional players, particularly SMEs, to enter the market as providers of innovative out-of-the-box solutions, either consisting of conventional renovation concepts or of highly efficient prefabricated systems. While the focus is on residential buildings, most of the proposed approaches will also apply to non-residential buildings, thus widening the scope to educational and office buildings.
