Local Integrated Home Renovation Services: how to make them viable?
Local Integrated Home Renovation Services (IHRS) are a powerful solution to Europe’s housing renovation challenge. They make ambitious energy renovation simpler for homeowners and bring public authorities closer to the achievement of their climate objectives.
Popping up all around Europe for more than 10 years, their achievements prove they are useful. But their business models remain fragile because they depend to large extent on the interest of homeowners and the support of public authorities.
“How to make local Integrated Home Renovation Services viable on a long-run?”
This is the key question we will strive to answer in a collaborative workshop bringing together the majority of the existing IHRS in Europe.
Targeted participants: local and regional IHRS, their supporters from local, national and EU institutions, financing institutions and the private sector.
Our ambition: get to know each other, learn together, set up a community of practitioners that will support the development of existing and future IHRS in Europe.
