RINNOVATE is about transforming every building renovation project in a profitable energy investment for all parties: owners, billpayers, builders, suppliers, consultants, present and future citizens.

The overall goal of RINNOVATE is to significantly contribute to trigger a market change, making energy performance evaluation commonplace when selecting and awarding renovation projects in public and private, commercial and residential buildings.
+
The core idea of RINNOVATE is that each building should integrate all renovation and maintenance expenditures into a plan to achieve nearly zero energy.
RINNOVATE works on three sides:

This approach will make easier to integrate energy saving and renewable sources solutions early in the design and schedule of renovation and maintenance plans, exploiting synergies, making the measurement of returns more reliable and increasing owners' confidence in spending for obtaining additional energy performances.

+
This practice will help to speed-up the energy-efficiency renovation rate in public and private buildings.
*supply side (material, component and service suppliers)
+
RINNOVATE partners work on demand (owners), supply (material, component and service suppliers) and integration (renovation and energy consultants, designers, finance),  both in private and public sectors, creating a catalyst environment for gathering a community of interest around a rich knowledge hub referencing more than 1200 cases organized around existing ontologies. Simple visual interfaces will allow to 'find' and 'add by example' across disciplines and languages.

Community members (800 owners, renovation and energy experts and suppliers) will then work together activating free consultancy services examining more than two hundred cases and preparing sixty plans to set nearly Zero Energy Building in Renovation as a standard Approach (ZEBRA).
For achieving its results RINNOVATE is willing to create :

The RINNOVATE community will establish active channels with existing networks, projects, communities dealing with EE/RUE and RES/RET in order to promote cross linking and to identify and enroll actors that are involved/interested in building renovation, energy efficiency and renewable sources.  
*A community of energy experts around the issue of the integration of energy measures in the specification and design of renovation works; it will give to this community place and tools (a 'competence kiosk')

It will manage to contact existing networks, projects, communities dealing with EE/RUE and RES/RET in order to promote cross linking and to identify and enroll actors that are involved/interested in building renovation energy issues.  
 
'Make every building renovation a profitable ESCO', 'Innovation is bringing an integrated view of energy performance into renovation', 'Clever ones get the most out of energy-smart renovations', 'Lead by example, search by example' are the undebatable landmarks of the project.
 
The overall expected outcome of RINNOVATE is to increase the number of renovation projects that incorporate energy-performance solutions complying with a professional/ethical code of conduct .

Abstract (max 2000 character)[edit]

The core idea of RINNOVATE is that each building should integrate all renovation and maintenance expenditures into a plan to achieve nearly zero energy. This approach will make easier to integrate energy saving and renewable sources solutions early in the design and schedule of renovation and maintenance plans, exploiting synergies, making the measurement of returns more reliable and increasing owners' confidence in spending for obtaining additional energy performances. This practice will help to speed-up the energy-efficiency renovation rate in public and private buildings. RINNOVATE partners work on demand (owners), supply (material, component and service suppliers) and integration (renovation and energy consultants, designers, finance), both in private and public sectors, creating a catalyst environment for gathering a community of interest around a rich knowledge hub referencing more than 1200 cases organized around existing ontologies. Simple visual interfaces will allow to 'find' and 'add by example' across disciplines and languages. Community members (800 owners, renovation and energy experts and suppliers) will then work together activating free consultancy services examining more than two hundred cases and preparing sixty plans to set nearly Zero Energy Building in Renovation as a standard Approach (ZEBRA). The RINNOVATE community will establish active channels with existing networks, projects, communities dealing with EE/RUE and RES/RET in order to promote cross linking and to identify and enroll actors that are involved/interested in building renovation, energy efficiency and renewable sources. Combining and promoting existing services, RES and EE technologies, ESCO/EPC -finance solutions and their design expertise, members will deliver and implement integrated renovation and maintenance strategies, becoming a sustainable trading place after the financed period. RINNOVATE will be implemented during 30 month in Spain, Italy, Portugal and UK.

Principal outcomes

There is a visible community of owners, renovation experts and suppliers who integrate renovation and maintenance strategies with ZEBRA-like approach. Several thousands of stakeholders are exposed to a change of perspective and behaviour about the return on renovation investments,and exposed to the results of factual collaboration established across the value chain and across borders. More than 70% of people contacted decide to engage in some collaboration form with others about ZEBRA using the knowledge hub, and 50000 people take part in connected communities or groups.
