NewTrend - This project named H2020-EeB5-2015: Innovative design tools for refurbishing of buildings at district level aims to develop and implement a new design methodology for energy refurbishment of buildings at district level through a software tool. The methodology will take into account both the phases of the refurbishment process and all the factors involved in the refurbishment process while serving as a database.
In addition, the development of a participatory methodology of integrated design aimed at the energy rehabilitation of buildings and neighbourhoods, as well as the development of business and financing models. REGENERA contributes its expertise in the field of energy efficiency in buildings and its experience with ESCO (Energy Service Company) business and financing models with the aim of making this innovative system profitable and ensuring its application and replicability. In addition to the implementation of renewable energy sources.
Although the project has now been completed, it lasted 36 months and consisted of a consortium of 13 partners, which aimed to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings in the EU and increase the current renovation rate, funded under the European framework programme HORIZONTE 2020.
