Tool

The following tool has been developed in the frame of the EmBuild project which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme. 

This report presents possible measures for improving the investment climate at the local level. It includes measures of a more general nature as well as country-specific recommendations. The main objective of this document is to present existing and/or innovative approaches/mechanisms/scenarios for the active involvement of stakeholders at the public level and to facilitate and stimulate the application of such measures in practice. The focus of EmBuild lies at the local level. Thus, measures are identified with a distinct local (municipal) and regional (county or district) application. This report is based on the findings and conclusions from work packages 2-4 of the EmBuild Project: 

  • Work Package 2 Inventory of the building stock and stakeholder involvement: Deliverables 2.1 Instruction note on stakeholder categorization and involvement; 2.2 Communication Plan; 2.4 Guidance note on stakeholders’ involvement; 2.7 Comprehensive Report
  • Work Package 3 Cost-effective approaches to renovations: Deliverables 3.2 Catalogue of low- and no-cost measures; 3.4 Standardised report for detailed analysis of buildings
  • Work Package 4 Policies and measures to stimulate cost-effective deep renovations of buildings: Deliverable 4.1 Report on barriers to deep renovation for each participating country

This report captures knowledge collected and generated during project implementation so the results and products of the project are made available and disseminated to stakeholders and to the widest possible relevant audience to maximise the project scope and impact. The conclusions and recommendations in this document will also serve as guidance to increase the capacity of public authorities to attract and absorb investment in resource efficient processes and actions, particularly in deep renovation/energy efficiency measures in public buildings.

Output of the tool
To present existing and/or innovative approaches/mechanisms/scenarios for the active involvement of stakeholders at the public level and to facilitate and stimulate the application of such measures in practice.
Needs Addressed
For improving the investment climate at the local level. It includes measures
