It has been 22 years since the first Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) came into force. Two decades in which climate change has gone from being an abstract concept on panels of experts to something as tangible as sweat in March due to 35ºC, knee-deep water in the living room after torrential rains to pay 10€ for a litre of olive oil produced in an ever-dry countryside. Also, in the last twenty years, climate change and sustainability in general have gained space in the public and political agenda.

Online

With

EU Peers Consortium

All Integrated Home Renovation Service (IHRS) providers, at some point in their lives, are facing the difficult question: How can they ensure the financial sustainability of their model? The question becomes even more burning when the IHRS provider is successfully operating thanks to EU grants that will eventually stop. Or, when public subsidies are not sufficient anymore and the provider wants to diversify and increase its revenues.
