Multi-family buildings represent 47% of residential dwellings in the EU. However, the sector remains largely overlooked in terms of sustainable renovations and energy retrofits, despite a growing need for them. As such, this webinar provided insight into how cities and regions can overcome the barriers often present when promoting and supporting multi-family renovations in various socio-economic classes. A benchmarking study provided a market overview of home renovation programs within Europe, while in-depth case studies from Spain, France, and Belgium were featured. These examples demonstrate how communities in partnership with local stakeholders can carry out high-performance renovations on the residential building stock and offer practical solutions for increasing the uptake of multi-family building renovations.

Additionally, the webinar highlighted an innovative approach to energy poverty and urban regeneration. Themes within this webinar also revolved around the Renovation Wave strategy, related EPBD revisions, and how to best use the EU recovery funds.

Who should attend and why? Cities, regions, energy agencies, and other stakeholders setting up residential renovation programs for multifamily buildings within Europe are welcome to join. Learn more about achieving climate neutrality by increasing the renovation rate in a poorly served sector that presents great opportunities for reducing energy-related emissions.
