Bringing solutions together: Voluntary certification schemes and other integrated approaches in support of deep renovation of buildings

Five Eu funded projects (TripleA-reno, iBROAD, HAPPEN, ALDREN, Fit-to-NZEB) collaborating on integrated tools and methods for deep retrofitting, look at key challenges that need to be surpassed for a breakthrough in building energy improvement, propose specific solutions, and highlight some good reasons for optimism.

Organised by : Architects’ Council Europe, ACE

The European Commission, in partnership with the UN Environment Finance Initiative, is organising a webinar on Participatory Financing for Sustainable Energy on 4 April 2019, from 11.00 to 13.00 Central European Summer Time. This webinar will hear from several presenters:

• An introduction from EASME, The Executive Agency for Small and Medium Enterprises, European Commission;
• Daan Creupelandt, Coordinator at REScoop.eu will share experience from the RESCOOP-MECISE project, working with cooperatives to develop projects for renewable energy and energy efficiency and setting up a financial facilitation service for all European energy cooperatives;
• Esther Bollendorff, Communications Manager at ENERGIRIS will talk about the easyCOPRO project, which uses an innovative cooperative financing mechanism to accelerate the energy renovation of residential condominiums;
• Carlo Allevi, Operations Manager with WeAreStarting will present a case study on the use of equity crowdfunding for non-domestic building renovation

This is part of a series of webinars in the frame of the Sustainable Energy Investment Forums initiative; for further background information on the SEI Forums initiative and to see the agenda and presentations from previous and upcoming events, please visit the Sustainable Energy Investment Forums webpage.

Join ALDREN at the European Energy Efficiency Conference, from 28 February – 1 March 2019 in Wels (AT). The project consortium is organising a join workshop with CEN-CE project and EPB Center on 28 February from 14:00 to 16:30, in the context of the Innovation Workshops Energy & Buildings. The event will showcase ongoing initiatives supporting the actual implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. Check here the workshop agenda.

DESCRIPTION

By 2020, ALDREN procedure will be formalized in a certification scheme with an holistic approach to the energy rating of non-residential buildings, using the European Voluntary Certification Scheme as a backbone for its implementation. For an effective roll-out of this certification among building professionals, ALDREN assessors will need sound training material and programs. In this view, ALDREN is organizing a first experts training/workshop to present ALDREN approach and to collect feedback from relevant national and European stakeholders about the relevance, focus and exploitation potential of the future ALDREN professional trainings.

The event is organized in the context of the REHVA Brussels Summit, but registration to ALDREN training is free and open to public (up to the maximum capacity of the meeting room). If you want to share your experiences and expectations on professional trainings for buildings energy performance assessments, please register to the ALDREN training session through REHVA website.
