CO1	Internal	FUNITG decision to promote the RINNOVATE project proposal with TRECON and to take on the responsibility of its co-ordination is part of a strategy of open innovation and participation to the governance that FUNITG is deploying since 2005. In the case of RINNOVATE, the project originates from a long running work with the professional trade associations of architects and engineers and the agreement signed with BRE Global Ltd BREEAM - the world’s leading building sustainability assessment and certification methodology a holistic approach to measuring and improving all types of new and existing buildings - to the nature, particularities and regulations governing the Spanish construction industry. FUNITG is also an active member of the Galician Forum for sustainability in the Building and Construcion sector. The frame and theme of the IEE 2011 call has then considered an appropriate opportunity of investment for strengthening more European liaisons in this field. In fact RINNOVATE explores a branch of the energy performance of buildings that is startegic for FUNITG: RES for NZE through renovation in fact require miultiple partnerships, competences for which FUNITG may become a catalyzer. FUNITG have decided to invest its own resources to further investigate and explore the issue and to strengthen its leadership role in the domain of environmental and energy performances.
CB1	Internal	The decision of INEGA Instituto Enerxético de Galicia Energy Agency (Public Body of the Autonomous Community of Galicia) to participate to the RINNOVATE project proposal and to co-finance its implementation comes from the institutional mandate of INEGA. The participation to RINNOVATE is in line with its mandate due to its natural role to be an interface for both owners sector (private and public) and experts sector. In this way it’s easier for INEGA to contribute in a significant way to catalyze the attention around ZEBRA approach and shift the community behavior towards different, holistic approach to design and planning of building renovation and maintenance. INEGA mandate to support institutions responsible for energy plans and programs, for which RINNOVATE will be a valuable contribution, in particular in the public procurement.
