Project REVERTER Deliverables
Deliverable 2.1
State-of-the-art review and assessment report
REVERTER aims to develop 9 roadmaps in four different European areas (Brezovo-Bulgaria, Athens
Urban area-Greece, Riga-Latvia and Coimbra-Portugal) in order to effectively alleviate EP through deep renovation of houses of vulnerable households. It is important to review the existing knowledge from EU-supported projects and scientific and grey literature, to establish an up-to-date scientific and technical baseline and fill existing gaps.
This deliverable presents a state-of-the-art review and assessment of several aspects related to EP:
- Review and assessment of the state-of-the-art knowledge in EP, energy retrofits and road mapping
- Assessment and prioritisation of alternative energy-saving measures
- Review and assessment of renovation barriers and multiple benefits
Assessment of policies, initiatives, strategies, etc. for the alleviation of EP and the promotion of deep renovation at national, regional and local levels.
Deliverable 2.2
REVERTER Knowledge database and Atlas
This document summarises the concept, structure and content of the REVERTER Knowledge Database and Atlas. The REVERTER Knowledge Database has been created to serve as a central information access point for energy poverty definitions, drivers and indicators, financial, environmental and other information for alternative deep renovation measures, existing EP and building renovation policies, initiatives, strategies, targets, etc., energy poverty and deep renovation roadmaps and policies and innovative financing instruments, as well as the main barriers and benefits related to deep renovation at the four REVERTER pilots and beyond.
Deliverable 3.1
Global methodology
This deliverable provides the global methodology for the pilots and the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) strategy of the REVERTER project. The deliverable discusses three critical issues to be considered when piloting this project or replicating it elsewhere, namely the ethical and data protection considerations (Section 3.3), the stakeholder networking (Section 3.4.), and the sustainability, replication, and exploitation of project results (Section 3.5) and presents the implementation plan in each pilot area.
Deliverable 3.2
Identification of EP hotspots and capacity building needs
The findings of this deliverable serve, at project level, as input for ongoing/future tasks of the project and, at a broader level, as a guide and inspiration for future research and improvements in EP diagnosis. At the project level, secondary and primary data were analysed in order to determine the levels of energy poverty in each pilot area. Specifically, we investigated to what extent the characteristics of the buildings stock and the used heating and cooling systems, the local climatic conditions, the households’ income and the respective energy expenditure, the households’ knowledge and attitudes on energy use, the penetration of energy saving measures and the barriers of their implementation influence the energy poverty levels as well as the effectiveness of the policies implemented to tackle the problem. The specific characteristics identified in each pilot area, even at the cultural level, combined with the existing institutional framework and subsidised energy saving programmes will be exploited by the project partners for the finalisation of the roadmaps, the design of the OSSs, and the preparation of tailormade materials for community capacity building programmes.
Deliverable 3.3
Training material
This deliverable summarises the basis for the establishment of the training program by identifying relevant training materials for the aforementioned topics, identifies and analyses the different groups of trainees, discusses appropriate topics to be specifically targeted at the different trainees’ groups, develops the educational curriculum and lays out an indicative training agenda.
The detailed training modules are presented in Annexes I and II of the deliverable. It is noted that for some training topics (e.g., national legislation), the English version provides only summary information; the detailed text will be available in REVERTER pilot’s national languages. Finally, Annex III presents the first leaflet that has been created to provide vulnerable households with practical tips on how to reduce their energy bills and improve their well-being.
Deliverable 3.4
Renovation roadmaps
The present deliverable describes the nine building renovation roadmaps developed for the four REVERTER pilot areas (namely Brezovo, Athens Urban Area, Riga and Coimbra, respectively) aiming to combat energy poverty by deeply renovating dwellings occupied by vulnerable households.
Deliverable 5.2
REVERTER Hub and Digital One-stop-shops and
dedicated project page on the beneficiaries’
websites
The REVERTER Hub is a central information access point designed to provide project updates and results to international audiences, including EU citizens, policy makers, and various stakeholders involved in the field of energy-efficient building renovations. The primary aim of the Hub is to offer user-friendly content that can be easily understood by end-users in specific regions. It serves as a gateway to all four Digital One-Stop-Shops (OSSs) associated with the project.
The REVERTER Hub was launched early in the project implementation, with the intention to continually evolve throughout the project’s duration. Digital OSSs has been launched one by one starting with digital OSS in Latvia, then Greece, Bulgaria and concluding with Portugal.
