Publication metadata
The purpose of this report is to present and explain the results of the work done for topic 1 of the Benchmarking for mobilising investments in energy efficiency project. Topic 1 focused on benchmarking different renovation concepts for the renovation of similar apartment blocks and aimed to identify leading practices and suggest policy updates to boost the renovation of apartment blocks. Four out of 10 Europeans live in apartment blocks, which implies the challenges and opportunities apartment blocks can impose on the EU energy strategy. Renovation of apartment blocks is especially important given that most of the EU apartment blocks were built between the 1950s and 1970s (i.e. before significant important thermal regulations were in place). For this purpose, topic 1 selected and analysed six case studies, compared different renovation practices in different EU Member States, and derived key success factors for the renovation of similar apartment blocks that could be replicated across the EU. Case studies were compared using the benchmarking technique, a specially designed approach that analysed case studies and compared them based on market, economic, legal, and technical criteria. Topic 1 heavily relied on the involvement of the topic’s Steering Group, which consisted of 12 members from different EU Member States and different areas of expertise. After being selected through the EU-wide online survey, the Steering Group members joined three Steering Group meetings where they had chance to: (a) select case studies to be analysed; (b) propose and select criteria and indicators for the case study analysis; (c) provide feedback on the benchmarking methodology and the results of the case study analysis; (d) discuss and suggest policy recommendations originating from the case study benchmarking; and (e) participate in extensive knowledge sharing as another important target of the topic 1 and benchmarking project. Following the initial ranking of proposed case studies in the first Steering Group meeting, topic 1 analysed six case studies: 1. Reconstruction of an apartment building, Paldiski Road – Tallinn, Estonia 2. KredEx 2010-2014 and 2015-2020 renovation grant programme – Estonia 3. Refurbishment of a social apartment building, Corazón de María – Bilbao, Spain 4. Refurbishment of an apartment building – Kapfenberg, Austria 5. Refurbishment of 3 blocks of prefabricated residential buildings – Hvalso, Denmark 6. Refurbishment of four residential multifamily buildings – Piaseczno, Poland.
