Strengthening the movement

Welcome to EU Peers, the European Community of Practice for Integrated Home Renovation Services (IHRS)! The Community is guided by the vision of a sustainable world, and focuses on the European building sector. Our aim is to significantly increase the residential energy renovation rate by strengthening and upscaling the movement of IHRS providers (one-stop shops) and supporters.

The revision of the European Policy Building Directive (EPBD) marks the beginning of a new phase for one-stop shops and their supporters. Together, we are turning the vision into reality and striving for climate neutrality by 2050.

Our Action

A Community driven by change

EU Peers follows a roadmap and a theory of change. Primarily, we offer opportunities through which the work of the members can develop further.

In addition, we contribute to improving framework conditions, especially in the implementation of the Revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

Understanding the status quo

Through a comprehensive survey and working with our members, the existing situation of Integrated Home Renovation Services is assessed.

Presenting the work

We publicise the work of one-stop shops and other members, emphasise innovations in the field and publicise the diversity of approaches.

Advocating for change

With the support of our members and the Advisory Board, we are dedicated to improving legal and financial framework conditions for building renovations.

Despite the undeniable benefits of deep home renovations—lower emissions, better health, improved comfort—the pace of adoption remains far too slow. Financial barriers, lack of trust, and fragmented governance continue to hinder progress. The recent EU Peers policy paper sheds light on how to turn this around: by promoting innovative financing, leveraging Integrated Home Renovation Services (IHRS), and establishing supportive policy frameworks that make renovations accessible and impactful. These recommendations form a practical and scalable strategy to turn energy efficiency into the new norm—across all income levels and housing types.
On 9 May, Energiaklub organised the fifth Hungarian EU Peers community meeting, bringing together 14 professionals from across the one-stop shop (OSS) ecosystem. Participants included providers focused on single-family and multi-apartment buildings, as well as organisations supporting OSSs through finance, research, and international projects.
From the 24th to the 26th of June, thousands of actors in the field of energy transition will gather in Strasbourg for the 26th edition of the Assises Européennes de la Transition Énergétique. On this occasion, EU Peers had been chosen to lead a one-hour workshop discussing the solutions offered by European cooperation for One-Stop Shops. The workshop will take place from 10:00 to 11:00 CET on June 25th at the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès of Strasbourg.
