EUROPA aims to build trust in the market, trigger new investments and set up standards and specifications to guarantee long term performance. The project developed standard contractual arrangements for increased transparency and assurances in deep renovation of residential buildings. The Energy Efficiency Subscription “EES” is coupled with a technical assistance service in the form of five One-Stop-Shops, enabling coordination and support to home owners throughout the stressful investment decision and works journey.

As the end of EUROPA is approaching, in their final conference taking place on 12 September 2023, they will share their knowledge and experiencein an online workshop from 09.00: 11:30 CET. It will be the opportunity to present results and learnings from the three EUROPA years and dive into the different roles a local authority can play for a One-Stop-Shop for residential energy renovation.

Local authorities must become drivers to One-Stop-Shops both on the operational and strategic side. Aside from the basic decision whether the One-Stop-Shop should be a public or private entity or mixte, local authorities have key opportunities to support the success of emerging One-Stop-Shops. National Policies can deliver the regulatory context to make this happen.
