Renotides

The COVID crisis and the war in Ukraine have added complexity on the economic context: rising costs of materials, inflation, rising interest rates, etc. All these factors have had a major impact on the renovation market, adding barriers against the action. 

The Renotides project was established in order to avoid a market stagnation for deep energy retrofit of housing that would cause factories delivering prefabricated facades or roofs to slow down their activities. Our project aims to organize smartly designed 3 staged Net Zero energy retrofit buy-in-schemes with multiple building owners: 

1. stage dealing with prefabricated insulated facades installation, 
2. stage dealing with prefabricated insulated & solar powered roof systems, 
3. stage dealing with energy system switch. 

Renotides team is a complementary consortium comprised of specialists from Netherlands, Lithuania, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium & Italy that aims to explore the potential for such coherent staged collective buy-in-schemes allowing to organize waves of facades retrofit and waves of roof retrofit, and then to reach Net Zero in 3 tides of retrofit waves: 

1. Developing renovation tide strategy tools for housing organizations to standardize their tasks and to help them achieve their decarbonization strategies (priority of buildings to deal with, targeted renovations to make, schedule of the work during the next 25 years...) 
2. Setting & deploying LEAN delivery kits for construction companies, to support the whole supply chain to achieve our goals in terms of volume of retrofitted housing 
3. Setting proper contracts and improving business models for such renovation tides, to replicate it massively to achieve our goals of renovation by 2050. 

Duration: October 2024 to September 2027
