The RenoHUb project aims to trigger an upscale of the quality and quantity of energy retrofits of the Hungarian homes with a one-stop shop system. The system will be introduced under the brand name "RenoPont", consisting of RenoPont Home Energy Renovation Centres (offices) and a complex, user-friendly RenoPont Online Platform (coming soon this year, in Hungarian). The services will cover the full spectrum of the energy modernization renovation process of family houses and condominiums from preliminary energy savings calculations, through financing options, template documents to the recommendation of qualified energy and technical experts and contractors.

CERtuS is a project involving Municipalities, energy service companies and financing entities from all economically stricken Southern European countries. It aims to facilitate EU Directives for increasing the number of nearly zero-energy buildings in the public sector. Many of the municipal buildings in Southern Europe require deep renovations to become nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) in the upcoming years. The objective of CERtuS is to stimulate the growth of this energy service sector and to help stakeholders gain confidence in such investments. CERtuS shall develop representative deep renovation projects and innovative financing schemes that will act as models for replication. Dissemination actions shall target municipalities, ESCOs and financing entities in all Southern European Member States.

SPEEDIER is a highly innovative one-stop-shop solution that applies an integrated approach to energy management, providing information, advice, capacity building, energy auditing, financing, and implementation of energy efficiency solutions and monitoring of impacts.

EEnvest is a H2020 collaborative research project focused on mainstreaming energy efficiency financing in the building renovation sector. The aim of EEnvest is the creation of a tool (a web-based search and match platform) which investors can use to evaluate the risk of investment in energy efficiency for buildings. The web-based search platform will match the demand and offer of buildings to be retrofitted with funding available from external financiers. The EEnvest platform will provide reliable information on the risk associated with energy renovation measures, combining proprietary risk evaluation models with the specific features of the property evaluated. The platform will use a blockchain-based data exchange validation system in order to guarantee the security and quality of the information. In this way, EEnvest will connect technical and financial communities, such as building owners, designers and potential transaction financers, as well as private investors.

FinEERGo-Dom is an ambitious 4-year project that refines and implements guaranteed financing schemes for energy efficiency and renewable energy in deep renovations of buildings in Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria. The project builds on the experience of the Latvian Building Energy Efficiency Facility (LABEEF), the original Building Energy Efficiency (BEEF) Facility deployed successfully in Latvia. LABEEF is based on an existing example providing 20 year Guaranteed Performance contracts to owners through an On-Bill payment scheme.

CitizEE is a European funded project aimed at supporting European public authorities to scale up investments for energy efficiency in the building sector through attracting citizen private investments. CitizEE seeks to create national or regional Investment Platforms backed by European Fund for Strategic Investments that will support the integration of tailored and widely adopted citizen financing schemes, crowdfunding and cooperative models, with adequate available or to be developed Public Financing Instruments (PFIs). As a result, CitizEE will enable the set-up of large-scale community energy efficiency programs while strengthening know-how of regional/national key stakeholders.

The SUPER-HEERO project aims at providing a replicable financial scheme for energy efficiency investment in small and medium supermarkets, based on stakeholder and community engagement.

X-tendo and its toolbox introduce ten features of the next generation of energy performance certificates, to provide public authorities with improved compliance, reliability, usability and convergence of next-generation energy performance assessment and certification.

Today, European markets for Sustainable Energy Assets (SEA) are splintered over many project and contract types, small portfolios and numerous investor methods to assess project risk. Consequently, deal closure takes an average 12-18 months per project, and project aggregation remains the foremost challenge to equitable financing solutions. Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs) and risk assessment protocols must become standardised for project investors in order to encourage market growth in a manner which will launch the market for SEA as tradable securities. The LAUNCH framework will enable large scale aggregation of sustainable energy assets for financiers and will support contractors in accelerating pipeline growth.

The project aims at extending the concept of Energy Performance Contracting to Active Buildings and making it available and attractive to a wider range of buildings. AmBIENCe will provide new concepts and business models for performance guarantees of Active Buildings, combining savings from energy efficiency measures with additional savings and earnings resulting from the active control of assets leveraging for instance price based incentive contracts (Implicit Demand Response).
