Pan-European retrofitting measures for historic buildings

Project PAS2020 – Pan-European Approach on Sustainable Heritage: Regeneration by a retrofitting economy (co-funded by the EIT Climate-KIC) – aims to promote systemic transformation, job creation and community resilience. Based on the successful online platform Green Menu for Dutch historic buildings, PAS2020 partners developed 3 country specific (The Netherlands, Slovenia and Portugal) one-stop-shops for retrofitting that are planned to be replicated at EU scale. The following steps were taken: i) selecting country appropriate building typologies, ii) identifying key building characteristics (e.g. bearing structure, visual features, energy consuming equipment, layout), iii) gathering data on financial instruments, policy issues, historical values and technical measures, iv) identifying bottlenecks, and v) mapping local retrofitting economies context and challenges.
