Financing the retrofit of 250 million buildings in Europe: opportunities and obstacles

Financing the retrofit of 250 million buildings in Europe: opportunities and obstacles
November 6, 2018 Sophie Rasbash

On the 6th of November, REVALUE project partner and Bax & Company consultant, Maarja Meitern, will be at the RETROFIT EUROPE 2018 conference to present the opportunities and obstacles of financing the retrofit of 250 million buildings in Europe needed to meet the EU’s sustainability targets.

Europe’s current housing stock is both old and energy inefficient and the rate of replacement is low. Therefore, the Commission has been looking to take down barriers for increased investments and help facilitate market transformation. The starting point of the REVALUE project was the contention that increasing transparency in the valuation process, in relation to a property’s energy characteristics and providing more explicit guidance to valuers, would assist in creating this business case and support the residential investment decision-making process.
