Technical Article: Strengthening residential energy renovations through one-stop-shops across scales of action and support

BUILD UP, the European portal on energy efficiency and renewable energy in buildings, dedicates its topic of the month to the role of one-stop shops in supporting residents.

In this context, FEDARENE analyses in an article how various European initiatives are promoting residential energy renovation and includes the Opengela as one of the notable examples.

The article recognises the value of the Opengela model and its network of neighbourhood offices that accompany local communities throughout the renovation process: from technical advice and administrative and financial management to social mediation and community support. More than 6,400 people and 2,700 dwellings have already benefited from this comprehensive approach.

In addition, the text shows how initiatives such as EU Peers and CitizenLedRenovation (CLR) complement and extend this work at national and European level, creating a more coordinated ecosystem to accelerate the energy transition.
