RenoInGR aims to establish a One-Stop-Shop (OSS) support structure for municipalities and regions across Greece, focusing on the development and execution of energy-efficient building renovations.

The OSS will provide both in-person and digital support, with a particular emphasis on islands and mountainous municipalities, addressing the challenges faced by medium and small-sized municipalities, particularly the scarcity of human and financial resources required for building renovation project development.

The renovation objectives are to surpass nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) standards and achieve energy self-sufficiency. The project also aims to reduce embodied CO₂ emissions resulting from renovation measures, such as additional thermal insulation.

Comprehensive OSS Services

RenoInGR will offer integrated services covering the entire project development process—from the initial assessment and project design to financing, implementation, and post-renovation monitoring.

To enhance efficiency and accessibility, RenoInGR will introduce a dedicated OSS digital platform, offering:

The OSS will also advocate for project bundling, creating larger, bankable renovation projects and securing funding through a mix of public and private financial resources via Energy Performance Contracting (EnPC). Furthermore, additional financing mechanisms will be explored to support municipalities in achieving their energy transition goals.

Specific Project Objectives

01.

Establishment

Establish an OSS structure to support large-scale building renovations across Greece, focusing on medium-sized, small mountainous, and island municipalities.
Ensure the long-term sustainability of the OSS beyond the project’s lifespan, offering a hybrid model of digital and in-person support.

02.

Integration

Develop an integrated suite of OSS services covering the entire project lifecycle—from building selection to financing and renovation procurement.
Leverage best practices from other European OSS models, adapting them to Greek regulations and market conditions, while addressing any regulatory barriers to ensure smooth implementation.

03.

Validation

Pilot the OSS model in at least 6 municipalities and 2 regions across Greece, delivering renovation designs and implementation tenders for at least 60 buildings.
Test and refine the OSS digital platform through real-world applications.

04.

Awareness

Increase engagement & accessibility by launching an awareness campaign targeting municipalities and local stakeholders.
Develop a pipeline of over 40 additional municipal buildings ready for renovation through the OSS platform’s guidance and financial tools.

05.

Replication

Plan scalable expansion strategies, starting with Cyprus, and design a long-term sustainability plan to ensure the replication of OSS services across other Mediterranean and European regions.

06.

Communication

Strengthen international visibility by disseminating RenoInGR results across Europe and the Mediterranean.
Promote clean energy transition best practices and blended financing models through targeted workshops, policy recommendations, and the OSS platform.

Impact Highlights

Projected outcomes aimed at achieving significant energy savings, emissions reductions, and renewable energy generation across Greece.

Post-Project Impact

Following the completion of the RenoInGR project, the long-term effects will continue to drive sustainable energy transformation.

Within five years, the initiative is expected to achieve energy savings of up to 60 GWh/year, significantly reducing CO2 emissions by 18,940 tons/year.

Additionally, the project will contribute to the generation of 80 GWh/year of renewable energy, further supporting Greece’s clean energy goals and ensuring lasting environmental and economic benefits for municipalities.
