One insight emerging from the World Café at the 2nd EU Peers Summit is clear: to reach new, low-income home-buyers, One-Stop Shops (OSS) must engage them before purchase, through trusted local networks and accessible, aspiration-driven communication, ideally linking renovation advice with finance.
More than 70 organizations conform the EU Peers Community in Spain. On Monday, October 13, they met to share how they approach the project design and selection of companies phases (Millin & Bullier, 2021). This is the second of a cycle of four meetings in which the Community shares experiences of the entire housing renovation process.

Do you want to give access to ambitious, high quality, safe and simple energy renovations to all your citizens? Do you want to boost your local economic growth? Do you want to implement local policies complying with EU and national energy and climate goals ? Open a One-Stop Shop for home energy renovation !
On 24 September , 2025, the Spanish EU Peers Community held its 6th meeting, which was attended by 30 different organizations. This was the first of a cycle of four meetings dedicated to analyzing the ten steps of the renovation process, according to the article Towards large-scale roll out of "integrated home renovation services" in Europe by Millin and Bullier. This session addressed the first three steps, focusing on how to activate the demand: information and marketing, detection and diagnosis, as well as the formulation of recommendations.
Establishing or improving a one-stop shop for sustainable home renovation can be quite a complex process - from aligning with EU and national climate goals, to tackling energy poverty, to building trust among homeowners. The EU Peers Mentoring Programme is here to make this journey faster, easier, and more impactful.
Can energy communities serve as a powerful trigger for deep renovations in multi-apartment buildings? A recent conversation between Ekubirojs, Renesco, Rēzekne municipality and representatives from Tartu suggests yes - but not without challenges.
To find out what one-stop shops (OSS) in Europe look like and what impact they have on renovation rates, the EU Peers Community conducted its first survey in 2024. We have highlighted ten key takeaways.

At the beginning of the 7th Hungarian community meeting, after introducing the new members, the community will discuss the updated grant programme supporting the renovation of single-family homes.

This Learning Lab focused on how One-Stop Shops (OSS) can effectively monitor and demonstrate their impact on building renovation. As OSS initiatives expand across Europe, the ability to collect consistent data and define clear indicators becomes essential to measure their contribution to energy savings, CO₂ emission reductions, and social outcomes such as reducing energy poverty.
