Digitalization is no longer a choice — it’s a necessity. Behind every successful home energy renovation project lies a strong digital backbone: tools that simplify project planning, streamline communication, and enhance client experience.

Let’s be pragmatic: Final steps in Paris before the launch of EU Peers Community of Practice

This description of the mission and vision of EU Peers highlights how far EU Peers has come since the first steps at the project’s kick-off meeting in September 2023: Not just in our understanding of the Community of Practice, but also regarding the visualisation of EU Peers. At the second project meeting in Paris, from 10-12 April 2024, this was particularly evident in a small but striking detail: EU Peers project partners and interested parties could be recognized instantly due to small buttons with the EU Peers logo.

Policy & Regulation

How the EPBD connects to the EU PEERS Community for Integrated Home Renovation Services - an Interpretation

The European Union has been at the forefront of crafting policies addressing the built environment's environmental impact. An example of this is the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) first enacted in 2002. A key instrument in the effort to address climate change. Through the Directive, Europe recognizes the responsibility of buildings for a significant portion of total energy consumption.

Are OSS the job of Tomorrow?

EU Peers joined the Belgian Renovation Week where the main outcome seems to be that yes, OSS are the job of Tomorrow and for young generations. In this article we dive into the speeches which inspired us the most and that, we hope, will inspire you too.

Unlocking Collaborative Solutions – EU Peers project kicked-off in September!

Energy-efficient building renovation is a key practice to reduce European emissions. But this is exactly where homeowners face major, frustrating hurdles. In order to ease their renovation journey, Integrated Home Renovation Services (IHRS), or so-called One-Stop Shops for residential energy renovation (OSS), are emerging in Europe. EU Peers is here to support those IHRS / OSS through a shared Community of Practice.
