[Report] Webinar #4: How to Upscale Deep Renovations Using Financial Mechanisms

Presentations & video recording of webinar #4 “How to Upscale Deep Renovations Using Financial Mechanisms – Insight From Best Practice Jurisdictions on Incentives and Drivers”, 10 December 2014, are available!

Watch the video: 
The GBPN hosted a series of four webinars on “how to” implement a successful policy package that targets energy renovations for residential buildings based on the findings from the recently launched Policy Tool for Renovation. This tool allows a comparison and analysis of twelve best practice renovation policy packages for residential buildings in Europe and the United States, using fourteen criteria that define a “state of the art” policy package.

The fourth and final webinar in the series addressed the critical question of how financing schemes can be developed to support and leverage the large investments needed to “go deep”? Two leading regions (the European Union, the United States) were invited to present their innovative methods of using finance as a way to upscale deep renovations. This webinar provided insights into the implementation of these measures and illustrated how they link with the overall policy framework.

Webinar#3 Agenda & Video Report

Energy renovation policy has only recently come onto the political agenda and is an emerging field. The Policy Tool for Renovation compares and analyses twelve current best practice renovation policies for residential buildings from Europe and the United States, using fourteen criteria that define a “state of the art” policy package. The Tool shows where positive steps have been taken, where other jurisdictions can learn from these actions and where there is scope for further progress to help countries and region to reduce the consumption of their building stock.
