(a) Target Group(s):
Actors who benefit from the results of your action, now and in the future. A strong engagement throughout the action is necessary. Participation in the consortium is possible. * Set limits and focus on your essential target group(s). A good practice rule is to have a maximum of 3 target groups, but this will depend on your proposed action. * Describe how your target group was involved in your proposal preparation. * List in the overview table below the main group(s) that your proposal aims to reach (e.g. architects, bankers, local policy makers, urban planners, utilities, ESCOs, social housing companies, householders, installers, transport operators, etc.).
Rinnovate target group are as follows:
#Demand side
- building owners (public & private)
- users (tenants)
The type of ownership of a building can be distinguished in several different way: one of them divided owners into different typologies: social rental (housing associations, municipalities, etc.) , commercial rental (private persons, large real estate investors) and owner occupied (individual owner or association of owners). In 2009 a total of nearly three quarters (73.6 %) of the of the EU-27 population lived in owner-occupied dwellings, while 13.0 % lived in dwellings with a market price rent, and 13.5 % in reduced-rent or free accommodation1. The figures of owners (both with and without mortgage) in the Rinnovate participating countries ranged from 83,2% in Spain, 74,6% in Portugal, 72 % in Italy, 69,9% in United Kingdom. Users are both individual tenant and tenant associations. The share of persons living in rented dwellings with a market price rent in 2009 was less than 10 % in 12 of the EU Member States.
#Supply side
- contractors
- developers
- suppliers
#Integrators
- energy experts
- architects/designers
- engineers
Stakeholders consultation and involvement of target groups is a fundamental (and natural) part of Rinnovate strategy sought throughout all phases of the proposed project implementation. All Rinnovate partners have also been engaged in specific preliminary talks in order to investigate the expected acceptance of Rinnovate. Results have been encouraging enough as to suggest the partners to go ahead and prepare and submit the project proposal. Indeed, different organisations have expressed their interest in following the work of the consortium, suggesting strategies and also sharing their knowledge and experiences (for example the Partnership will share the main steps of the Contingency plan in order to gain their support and promote understanding). For this reason, the partners will promote the participation of representatives of the stakeholders and of the main target groups into Interest Groups (maximum of 5-10 members for each country) with advisory and consultative function to the Steering Committee The Interest Groups will be invited as Advisory Boards to participate to the meetings of the Steering Committee but also to informal “side-meetings” that the partners should decide to organise during project' activities. Meetings will be organized as round-tables providing information about the project results, but the main role is to share ideas in order to give an input to and encourage discussion. At the same, time relevant participants of the Interest Group should take part in the advisory Communication Committee, in which they will be called upon to suggest more effective messages or means to involve the targets. Participation in these two advisory bodies will facilitate managing relationship processes, maximizing stakeholders’ positive input and minimizing any potential detrimental impact. It will be also a means to map power and influence, so that potential impacts on the project can be better understood.
(b) Key Actors:
Actors whose involvement is essential to achieve the results of your action.Note that participants of the consortium are in any case key actors. But the recould also be organisations outside the consortium that are necessary for thesuccess of the action and where a close involvement during the action is expected. They can be multiplier organisations (e.g. associations) or facilitators or specific sub-groups of your target groups.
- Limit yourself to the essential key actors
- Describe how your key actors were involved in your proposal preparation. List them in the overview table below.
(c) Letters of support:
- Make sure that these letters are specific to the proposal and that they are concrete about the nature of the involvement/support/interest.
- If not self-explanatory, you should give a short explanation of the profile of the organisation expressing the support.
- The letters should not be from the consortium members (i.e. not from the co-ordinator and the co-beneficiaries).
- Up-load them as an annex in the on-line submission tool (please see Point V – ANNEXES) for further instructions.
Letters of interest from relevant stakeholders located in different Spanish, Portogues and Italian regions, attesting the attention that has already been aroused in reference to Rinnovate.
- Colegios Oficiales de Arquitectos, Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos e Ingenieros Industriales de Galicia
- ESCO Marche
- Azienda Ospedaliera di Ferrara
- Publiambiente
- Comune di Ancona ??
Overview Table: Engagement of Target Groups and Key Actors
Summarise this section in the table below. Note: Although the consortium members may be one of the target groups, do not include them in this table.
