WEBINAR - Designing deep renovation for the decarbonisation of the EU building stock

Designing deep renovation for the decarbonisation of the EU building stock

29th June | 14.30 – 16.00 PM CET time (13.30 – 15.00 PM BST)

The StepUP Project invites you to take part in a webinar conference on methodologies, processes and technologies covering every phase of the renovation process to make it more effective, by incorporating the stakeholder needs at the center.

In this webinar we will present solutions to address the European challenge of achieving the decarbonisation of existing buildings by 2050, in line with the Renovation Wave.

The project is developing affordable solutions and technologies aimed at transforming the energy renovation market and making the decarbonisation of existing buildings a reliable, attractive and sustainable investment.
