StepUP
Make decarbonisation of existing buildings a reliable, attractive investment
What is StepUP?
Deep renovation is key to drastically reduce energy demand and achieve the EU vision of a decarbonised building stock by 2050. The technology to achieve this reduction is available on the market today, but shallow retrofits persist. To transform the market and increase the rate of renovation across Europe, it needs to become an attractive, low-risk investment.
StepUP will develop a new process for deep renovation for decarbonisation, to minimise performance gap, reduce investment risk and maximise value.

Our Objectives
Make
renovation more attractive and reliable
Reduce
the performance gap to <10%
Minimise
Time on site to <40%
Optimise
renovation investments
Accelerate
the renovation market
