Renoinvest

As RENOINVEST enters its final phase, the project is pleased to share its official video, offering a concise introduction to its main objectives, achievements and wider ambition. The video highlights how RENOINVEST has supported smarter investment in sustainable building renovation through stronger cross-sector dialogue and cooperation across Austria, Hungary and Slovenia.

On 12 March 2026, RENOINVEST partners RENOWAVE.AT and IIBW organised the Austrian National Roundtable on financing sustainable and energy-efficient public sector projects. The event focused on how municipalities can respond to EED III renovation obligations through practical planning, tailored financing solutions and stronger cooperation.

The European Commission has adopted a new Citizens’ Energy Package to make energy more affordable, accessible and secure for people across the European Union. Presented on 10 March 2026, the package focuses on reducing energy bills, tackling energy poverty, strengthening consumer protection and helping citizens play a more active role in the clean energy transition.

The European Commission has adopted a new strategy to accelerate clean energy investment across the EU, with a strong focus on mobilising private finance for energy efficiency, clean technologies and infrastructure. For the renovation sector, the new package is especially important, as it highlights the growing role of innovative financing solutions, one-stop shops and investment models that can help scale up building renovation across Europe.

We are pleased to announce the publication of RENOINVEST 8th Newsletter. This edition brings together recent project developments and wider European updates relevant to accelerating renovations—highlighting what it takes to move from ambition to bankable, scalable investment, especially for condominiums and municipalities.

On 13 January 2026, the RENOINVEST 3rd International Roundtable took place in Vienna within the EU LIFE project supporting sustainable energy renovation investments in Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia. Participants discussed key barriers and solutions for scaling renovation finance, including the role of National Action Plans, the European Energy Efficiency Financing Coalition (EEEFC), and practical approaches to mobilising private capital—especially for condominiums and municipalities.

On 13 January, RENOINVEST will host its final International Roundtable, bringing together experts from finance, real estate, construction, policy and interest groups across Austria, Hungary and Slovenia. The event marks a key milestone of the project, showcasing outcomes from the national stakeholder processes and supporting the scale-up of sustainable building renovation across the region.

We are pleased to announce that the December 2025 edition of the RENOINVEST Newsletter is now available. This end-of-year issue captures the latest policy and financing momentum around energy-efficient building renovation in Europe, and shares the most important updates from RENOINVEST’s national stakeholder processes in Austria, Hungary and Slovenia.

At the 3rd Slovenian national roundtable of the RENOINVEST LIFE project, organised on 8 December 2025 by ZAG and GZS, stakeholders discussed the main barriers and opportunities for scaling sustainable, energy-efficient building renovations in Slovenia. The event introduced the key directions of the emerging Slovenian Action Plan and explored how renovation uptake can be accelerated through stronger policy coordination, more attractive and accessible bank financing, and higher awareness among building owners.
