Why and How is Technical Assistance the Wealth-enabler for buildings?
Renovate Europe co-organised the webinar “Why and How is Technical Assistance the Wealth-enabler for buildings?”, which took place on Tuesday 28 September 2021 (10:30-11:50 CET) via GoToWebinar.

Buildings and Recovery Measures: the role of energy renovations in supporting European recovery
23rd April 2020 (09:30-10:30 CEST) In collaboration with REC National Partners SYNERGI, DENEFF and NRP, three emerging approaches to be deployed respectively in Denmark, Germany and The Netherlands, will demonstrate the importance and potential behind deep energy renovation of buildings and the role it can play in European economic recovery in the period ahead. The goal of the discussion is to better understand good practices at national level thus helping to prepare, in advance, the actions that can be gradually put in place once the lock-downs measures will be lifted, and that will ultimately feed into a responsive Renovation Wave Initiative.
