Over 34 million people in the European Union are experiencing energy poverty in their homes. The Life Energy Poverty Zero’s (EP-0) main objective is to support progress toward scale up of deep energy retrofit in vulnerable district to fight energy poverty by combining existing efforts on energy poor people support, one-stop-shops, deep-energy retrofit industrialisation and district-based dynamics. The project develops an approach to connect efforts performed to diminish cost of deep energy retrofit in social housing with industrialised prefabricated solutions with the private housing market.
EP-0 aims at bridging and building on existing initiatives, such as Energiesprong. EP-0 will work to develop “industrialised retrofit potential” assessment tools for cities to better assess their potential scaling and replicability district per district, to deploy district energy retrofit compass with inhabitants, transcribing for citizen what different action would imply in terms of cost-benefit and comfort, and to assess relevance of collective buy-in scheme for citizens and housing organisations. This consortium’s experience and expertise of what is happening in the field is key to address zero energy poverty and zero energy district in matter of energy transition, energy efficiency, social inclusion, housing and sustainable district lead approach.
