Researchers funded by the EU have developed a tool that provides information to help guide the decision-making process before investing in an energy retrofit.
The EU Council has been mobilising Member States to put in place energy efficiency measures in the residential sector that will cut emissions by 30 % by 2030. Yet investors need certainty that energy efficiency improvements in the private rental sector are profitable. Without this information, the real estate sector is unlikely to take the necessary investment decisions and contribute to the EU's 2030 carbon reduction targets.
