Agenda

The workshop agenda features a number of presentations by local governments and national counterparts, whilst also giving ample opportunities for open discussion to exchange expertise on renovation programs, identify good practices and brainstorm solutions to overcome common challenges and harness untapped potentials. We very much look forward to welcoming you in Ljubljana!

Background 

With buildings being responsible for an estimated 40% of EU energy consumption and 36% of the greenhouse gas emissions, governments at all levels face a great challenge to transform their building stock to meet ambitious local, national and European climate targets. As Europe is facing an unprecedented energy crisis, the need for action is even greater. Innovative EU-funded projects such as Save the Homes (StH) play an important role in catalysing efforts to future-proof and decarbonize Europe’s building stock. The hubs supported by StH in Spain and the Netherlands - and replicated in Slovenia - represent important and complementary additions to local renovation efforts, by addressing renovation market demand- and supply-side issues. During the workshop it will be our pleasure to report on progress being made by the Save the Homes consortium in supporting citizen hubs, to speed up and make renovation more affordable.
