From co-creating digital tools to preparing for real-world testing, during 29 September to 1 October 2026, the RenoVisor consortium held its third project meeting in Thurles, Ireland, to review progress, exchange ideas and define strategic planning.

Renovating a home is not only a technical or financial decision. It is a process shaped by people’s priorities, knowledge, concerns, expectations and everyday lives.

As Europe accelerates its clean energy shift, local opposition - often called NIMBY ("Not In My Backyard") - frequently halts vital green developments. Within RenoVisor, our team is studying why local resistance occurs and how to solve it and here, in particular, how...

You have lived here for years. You know your neighbours, greet each other in the street and feel at home in this neighbourhood. But your energy bills keep rising, and you find yourself wondering: how can we create an affordable and sustainable future together? This...

Across Europe, millions of homes need to become more energy efficient to meet the EU's climate and energy objectives. Yet many households still struggle to start renovating due to uncertainty, a lack of reliable information and the complexity of the process. Why...

When discussing European research and innovation projects, attention is often focused on technological developments, scientific findings or innovative digital tools. However, another element is equally important for ensuring long-term impact: communication and dissemination.

Organised by COMILLAS within the Vulnerability Task Force, the session explored how vulnerable people can be better identified, engaged and supported through RenoVisor’s renovation tools and pilot activities.

Katharina Rieck, from the project coordination team at Jülich Systems Analysis – Forschungszentrum Jülich, shared her expertise with the DeustoTech team, with a particular focus on using Python-based simulations to model building energy systems

At Jülich Systems Analysis (ICE-2), we are contributing to the RenoVisor project by leading the building modelling activities and helping to establish a strong, data-driven foundation for the project. With a research focus on the unbiased scientific investigation of...

EU’s Building stock Around 75% of the EU's building stock has poor energy performance, yet the annual renovation rate remains stuck at just 1%. That gap between what is needed and what is happening is the problem RenoVisor will help solve. Twelve partners across...

From developing comprehensive material databases to engaging with leading voices in sustainable construction, Bauhaus Earth is helping lay the scientific groundwork for a greener built environment.

As part of our commitment to a people-led energy transition, RenoVisor aims to ensure that decisions about energy in our homes are no longer imposed, but instead become participatory, fair, and transparent.That’s where you come in. We invite you to take part in a...
