The clean energy transition represents a key opportunity for public authorities, investors and businesses to unlock financing for Smart Buildings and address the needs of European citizens while driving the energy transition forward.
Without effective and scalable financing schemes, it is impossible to reach the volume of investment required to upgrade European buildings. There is a need for a greater awareness of innovative financing mechanisms that best address the Smart Buildings’ renovation needs while being affordable and effective for buildings’ owners and users. These models are therefore key to tripling renovation rates, without negatively impacting the financial health of European citizens or burdening public budgets.
