Heat Roadmap Europe (HRE4): TEP Energy Presents Results of HRE4 Project in a Webinar
Within the HRE4 webinar series, TEP Energy presented the project findings on investment cost curves to access additional efficiency gains in the residential buildings sector of Europe (see https://heatroadmap.eu/webinars/#seven).
The analysis shows that supporting deeper thermal renovation of buildings which undergo renovation under baseline considerations is the most important missed opportunity to further reduce H&C demand. This can be achieved by e.g. converting overhaul of buildings into energy efficient retrofit or to include additional building elements in a planned partial retrofit. Further savings can be achieved by increasing the refurbishment rate (i.e. doing renovations in buildings which are untouched in the baseline).
