Lack of finance is considered to be one of the key barriers to improving buildings’ energy efficiency at a speed and scale that is required. Beyond the financing gap, the built environment is a complex network of stakeholders, financial barriers, and mixed incentives, which all need to align and be overcome to speed up the decarbonisation of EU’s housing stock.
In this session we will hear the experiences from innovative demonstration projects of net zero emission and plus energy neighbourhoods around Europe, as well as the viewpoints of key stakeholders along the value chain. Moreover, we will discuss policy measures needed to finance and scale up such projects around Europe. The main outcome will be a list of policy recommendations for private and public decision-makers.
Andreas Türk, coordinator of EXCESS, will talk about „Cost, barriers, and mixed incentives to accelerate the decarbonization of the EU’s housing stock: Lessons learned from the EXCESS project.“
