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 places particular
emphasis on islands and mountainous municipalities, addressing the challenges faced by medium and small-sized
municipalities nationwide, 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 the embodied CO2 resulting from renovation measures, such as additional thermal insulation.
RenoInGR will offer integrated services from the beginning of the project development to the implementation of the decarbonisation renovation design. It will implement best practices tailored to the specific national and local conditions, while also addressing any regulatory gaps to ensure smooth operation. It will advocate for project bundling to create sizeable projects and secure funding through the blending of public and private resources via Energy Performance Contracting. Furthermore, additional financing mechanisms will be explored.
The functionality of the proposed OSS will be validated through integrated services to municipalities and regions for renovating over 100 buildings, resulting in 21 m € building energy renovation investment, primary energy savings of 3.7 GWh/y, renewable electricity of 5.2 GWh/y and 1155 tCO2 eq/year emissions reduction.
A robust campaign to attract municipalities and regions, dialogues among the market actors, and capacity-building activities will be designed and implemented to ensure a successful implementation of the RenoInGR project and ultimately position OSS as the reference structure for supporting the municipalities and regions.

Specific Project Objectives
01.
Establishment
Establish an OSS structure to support at national level large-scale building renovations in the Greek municipalities, placing emphasis on the medium sized and small mountainous ones and islands, and ensure the sustainability of the structure beyond project life
02.
Integration
Develop comprehensive services that cover the entire project development process, from building selection to renovation procurement, including financing support. Identify best practices from other European OSS models and adapt them to Greek regulations and market conditions, while addressing any regulatory gaps and barriers for successful service implementation.
03.
Validation
Test and validate the operation of the RenoInGR OSS in at least 6 municipalities and 2 regions across Greece by preparing renovation design and implementation tenders for at least 60 buildings
04.
Awareness
Raise awareness and apply a mechanism to facilitate the municipalities’ access to the OSS services and prepare a pipeline of over 40 additional buildings
05.
Replication
Plan future activities including replication of the services starting with Cyprus, long-term sustainability of the OSS and further valorization of the exploitable results
06.
Communication
Strongly communicate the developed services across European and Mediterranean countries, disseminate tested measures for building renovations toward a clean energy transition and blended financing solutions
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.
