TripleA-reno was an EU-funded project that brought together 15 project partners from seven European countries. Its aim was to make acceptance and decision-making on deep renovation attractive for consumers and end-users by providing clear and meaningful information and communication on the proven impact on energy, indoor environmental quality, and personal health in practice. This was achieved through the development of an innovative Open Gamified Platform that acted as a one-stop-shop and built the local renovation community.

Following 7 real-life case studies from cities across Europe, the project put citizens in the driver’s seat. After observing their needs, the platform provided users with simple and proven decision-making tools, giving them easy access to the latest renovation technologies and products, including information on renovation procedures and the local renovation value chain. House-owners also got an overview of real performance concerning energy, health, and indoor environmental quality, as well as user satisfaction of buildings that were renovated. Designers, workers, and suppliers were able to use the training modules of the platform to improve their skills, while investors got an insight into the renovation market, with details on projects seeking funding.

The project was coordinated by Huygen. ICLEI mainly contributed to the TripleA-reno exploitation strategy, which was geared towards EU-wide replication, as it should also benefit EU member states not involved in the project and other areas. It organized an international training workshop for municipalities, during which participants had the opportunity to test the gamified platform and provide feedback. Based on the project results, ICLEI developed policy recommendations at the local, sub-national, and European level.
