One-Stop-Shop Digital Platform for Energy Efficiency Building Renovations and Performance Contracts

constructionTestedTRL 5

Imagine a digital hub that acts like a matchmaker for home energy upgrades. It connects homeowners who want lower bills with the experts and funding needed to make it happen. Instead of guessing if a renovation works, it uses real data to guarantee the energy savings actually happen.

The business problem

What needed solving

Homeowners often lack the trust and financial clarity to invest in energy renovations, while ESCOs struggle with the high cost and risk of guaranteeing energy savings.

The solution

What was built

A one-stop-shop digital platform featuring three modules: Building Performance and Guarantees (BPG), Efficiency, Comfort and Environment (ECE), and Building Information Technology (BIT).

Who can put this to work

Energy Services
SME
Target: Energy Service Company (ESCO)

If you are an ESCO dealing with high risk in energy saving guarantees — this project developed a Building Performance and Guarantees (BPG) module that provides data-driven trust to reduce costs and make projects easier to replicate.

mid-size
Target: Renovation Contractor

If you are a contractor dealing with fragmented project coordination — this project developed a one-stop-shop platform that integrates building information modelling and technology management to make the renovation process cost-efficient.

Public Administration
enterprise
Target: Municipal Housing Authority

If you are a public institution dealing with inefficient residential housing stock — this project developed tools to identify energy efficiency improvements and validate financing schemes like grants and loans.
