Reno Tides

Supporting staged massive Net Zero Retrofit with collective buy-in-schemes of insulated prefab façade & roof systems for housing

The COVID crisis and the war in Ukraine have added complexity on the economic context: rising costs of materials, inflation, increased interest rates, etc. All these factors have had a major impact on the renovation market, adding barriers against the action. To avoid a market stagnation for deep energy retrofit of housing that would cause factories to slow down their activities, our project aims to organise smartly designed 3 staged Net Zero energy retrofit buy-in-schemes with multiple building owners such as social housing organisations : 1 stage dealing with prefabricated insulated facades installation, 1 stage dealing with prefabricated insulated & solar powered rood systems, 1 stage dealing with energy system switch.

Project Objectives

Our team is a complementary consortium from Netherlands, Lithuania, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium & Italy that aims to explore the potential for coherent staged collective buy-in-schemes allowing to organise waves of facades and roof retrofit to reach Net Zero in 3 tides of renovation waves. The project has three main objectives and action flows:

1. Developing renovation tide tools for housing organisations to standardise their tasks and to help them achieve their decarbonization strategies (priority of buildings to deal with, targeted renovations to make, schedule of the work during the next 25 years…)
2. Setting & deploying LEAN delivery kits and academies for construction companies, to support the whole supply chain to achieve the goals in terms of volume of retrofitted housing
3. Setting proper contracts and improving business models for such renovation tides, to replicate it massively to achieve our goals of renovation by 2050.
