Aims at creating an observatory for nZEBs based on market studies and various data. The technology is already available and proven; however the large scale uptake of nZEB construction and renovation will be a big challenge for all market actors and stakeholders involved. A substantial gap in reliable data on current market activities makes it difficult for policy-makers to evaluate the success of their policies. Therefore, the key objective of ZEBRA2020 is to monitor the market uptake of nZEBs across Europe and provide data and as well as recommendations on how to reach the nZEB standard.

EmBuild supports public authorities in Southeast European countries to prepare a long-term strategy for mobilising investment in energy efficient building renovation of public building stock. It works directly with public authorities in towns and regions in Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Germany. It generates new tools, better processes and higher capacity in local governments to design ambitious but realistic renovation strategies.  It communicates the experience of the focus municipalities throughout Europe and helps regional energy agencies to support more and more municipalities. It promotes a bottom-up approach: The national renovation strategy should be the sum of local commitment.

ENERFUND is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme and poses itself the ambitious objective to enhance funding investments for deep renovation of buildings, working on three components: public awareness and trust, funding schemes and incentives and trustworthy retrofitting opportunities. A comprehensive state of the art evaluation of existing barriers and needs in these fields will enable the development of the ENERFUND tool, which will address these shortcomings and expectations. The tool will then be promoted within the scope of the project and its impacts on deep-renovations will be monitored and measured.
