All three projects (INNOVATE, ProRetro, EUROPA) center on integrated renovation services for private housing
REIMARKT CONCEPT BV
Dutch SME operating one-stop-shop services for residential deep energy renovation with performance guarantees.
Their core work
Reimarkt is a Dutch SME that operates as a one-stop-shop for residential energy renovation, helping homeowners navigate and complete deep energy retrofits of their homes. They provide integrated renovation services — from energy advice and planning through to execution — aimed at transforming private housing toward near-zero energy building (NZEB) standards. Their business model centers on making complex home renovation accessible by bundling advisory, financing, and contractor coordination into a single customer-facing service, with performance guarantees on energy outcomes.
What they specialise in
EUROPA focuses on deep renovation with NZEB targets; INNOVATE on ambitious energy refurbishment of private housing
EUROPA specifically addresses subscription-based deep renovation with performance guarantee mechanisms
ProRetro focuses on peer-learning approaches and energy advice to promote retrofits among private homeowners
How they've shifted over time
Reimarkt entered H2020 in 2017 as a third party in INNOVATE, contributing practical renovation experience to a broader consortium effort on private housing refurbishment. By 2020, they had graduated to full participant status in two projects (ProRetro and EUROPA), taking on more defined roles in one-stop-shop models and performance-guaranteed renovation subscriptions. The shift suggests a company that moved from learning and validating its model within EU projects to actively shaping how residential renovation services are designed and delivered across Europe.
Reimarkt is moving toward scalable, subscription-based renovation models with guaranteed energy performance — expect them to seek partners in financing, building technology, and consumer engagement for deep retrofits.
How they like to work
Reimarkt operates as a participant rather than a consortium leader, contributing practical market experience and real-world renovation service delivery to larger European partnerships. With 32 partners across 14 countries from just 3 projects, they work in sizeable consortia typical of CSA-type coordination actions. Their role is that of a practitioner bringing commercial one-stop-shop experience to policy-oriented and knowledge-sharing projects, rather than driving the research agenda.
Despite being a small company, Reimarkt has built connections with 32 organizations across 14 European countries through its three H2020 projects, giving it a broad peer network in the residential renovation and energy efficiency space.
What sets them apart
Reimarkt brings something rare to EU consortia: actual commercial experience running a one-stop-shop for home renovation, not just research about one. While many partners in energy efficiency projects are universities or research institutes studying renovation barriers, Reimarkt is a company that faces those barriers daily with real homeowners. For consortium builders, they offer ground-truth validation of renovation models and a ready channel to test approaches with actual customers in the Dutch market.
