The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, currently under negotiation, highlights the key role of local governments in the set-up and operation of home renovation services. The European Parliament has proposed to establish at least one one-stop-shop per region and per 45,000 inhabitants, with a harmonised approach to be implemented in member states. This means that our OSS and IHRS systems will have to be stepped up. The aim of this webinar, based on feedback from several OSS, is to present the future challenges for urban renovation policies. More specifically, and thanks to some concrete examples of OSS implementation, we will reflect on how these services can be expanded and replicated and what key conditions are needed to make them sustainable in the long term.

Expected Outcomes
- What are cities’ most pressing current and future challenges for the creation of Integrated Home Renovation Services (IHRS)?
- How can we replicate our local practices to boost building renovations?
- What financing systems are needed to set up a sustainable system in terms of One-Stop-Shops (OSS)?

About I-HEROS
The I-HEROS project aims at developing an entirely integrated home renovation service for homeowners in Toulouse Metropole. By increasing the coordination between existing programs and targeting specific households, this one stop shop aims at renovating an additional 2000 housings per year by the end of the project. It also aims to share the technical aspects of the successful implementation with international stakeholders or policy makers. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 890598.
