SYMPRAXIS TEAM P.C.

Their core work

Sympraxis Team is a Greek SME specializing in building renovation strategy and energy performance assessment tools. They design individual building renovation roadmaps and digital building logbooks that guide property owners through step-by-step deep renovation processes. Their work bridges technical energy simulation (calibrated and dynamic modelling) with user engagement, helping translate complex energy data into actionable renovation plans for building owners, municipalities, and energy agencies.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 work (2017–2020), Sympraxis focused on developing the concept of individual building renovation roadmaps — step-by-step renovation guidance, building repositories, and field testing with direct training components. From 2020 onward, their scope expanded significantly: they moved from individual buildings to district-level thinking (positive energy neighbourhoods, district energy systems) and from paper-based tools to digital platforms (digital building logbooks, web-based knowledge platforms, renovation hubs). This shift reflects the broader EU policy move from single-building energy efficiency toward neighbourhood-scale decarbonisation.

Sympraxis is scaling up from building-level renovation planning to district-scale energy transformation with digital platforms and community engagement — positioning them for upcoming EU Renovation Wave and PED initiatives.

How they like to work

Sympraxis operates as both a project leader and an active partner, having coordinated 2 of their 6 projects (the iBROAD series). With 68 unique consortium partners across 17 countries, they are well-networked for a small company — suggesting they are a trusted specialist that larger consortia invite for their specific building renovation expertise. Their participation in Coordination and Support Actions (4 out of 6 projects) indicates they excel at knowledge coordination and dissemination rather than heavy R&D.

Sympraxis has built a broad European network of 68 unique partners spanning 17 countries — unusually wide for a 6-person-project SME from Greece. This reach reflects their role in large CSA consortia focused on building renovation policy and practice across diverse EU member states.

What sets them apart

Sympraxis is one of very few SMEs that can claim continuous, deep expertise in building renovation roadmaps — they literally helped define the concept through iBROAD and then evolved it into EPC integration with iBRoad2EPC. Their combination of technical energy modelling skills and participatory engagement methods makes them valuable for projects that need to translate complex renovation data into tools that real building owners and municipalities will actually use. For consortium builders, they bring a rare blend: Greek market knowledge, EU-wide renovation policy expertise, and hands-on digital tool development.

Highlights from their portfolio

• iBROAD
  Sympraxis coordinated this project that pioneered the concept of Individual Building Renovation Roadmaps — a tool now referenced in EU renovation policy.
• iBRoad2EPC
  Direct successor to iBROAD, also coordinated by Sympraxis, integrating their renovation passport concept into official Energy Performance Certification schemes across Europe.
• oPEN Lab
  Their largest single project (EUR 390K) and a strategic pivot into positive energy neighbourhoods and living lab methodologies, running until 2026.
