Online Training “Circular Buildings” – Module 2: Financing Options for Sustainable Building Renovation Projects

The Commission estimates that the EU annually invests €85-90 billion in the energy efficiency of buildings through public programs, while the renovation of existing buildings alone will require additional investments of €275 billion per year to achieve the 2030 climate targets (COM). Thus, to achieve energy and climate policy goals, the increased mobilisation of private capital for climate-friendly construction and renovation is crucial. Being a significant link between investors, industry and homeowners, local authorities need to familiarise themselves with the available financial instruments and determine the most suitable ones for successful implementation of sustainable renovations at local level.

This is exactly where Module 2 of the online training “Circular Buildings”, implemented as part of EUKI project SURF, comes into play. In Module 2 on 21 March 2024, 10:30am – 12:00pm CET, Mr. Mathieu Daloze from the European Commission (DG Energy) will provide an overview of the EU financial instruments that focus on sustainable building renovation and are available to local authorities. In addition, Creara, a consultancy based in Madrid, will introduce us to innovative financing instruments such as green bonds, on-bill programs, revolving funds or green mortgages. This will be followed by two good practice examples. Mr. Samuel Bretillot will introduce Île-de-France Region’s framework for green and sustainability bonds for green buildings, while Ms. Ly Loss will share experiences with the KredEx Revolving Fund.

Module 2 will take place online (Zoom).
