Renoinvest

RENOINVEST will present Slovenian results at the SMAFIN Expanded national roundtable in Ljubljana, contributing to discussions on sustainable energy finance, renovation barriers and practical solutions for energy-efficient building renovation.

Slovenia has updated its National Action Plan with the introduction of a new vocational standard for Building Maintenance Technician (Vzdrževalec stavb). Developed in 2025 through close cooperation between public institutions, industry stakeholders and the education sector, the new standard represents an important step toward strengthening the skills base needed for energy-efficient and sustainable building renovation.

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.
