From commercial to residential: extending Energy Performance Contracts
Online

Friday, Mar 18, 2022 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM (WET)

Despite the large economic energy savings potential in the EU, the energy service companies market for residential buildings is much less developed than in other sectors. Energy Performance Contracting (EPCs) providers have been most active in the services and the public buildings sector, but very few work in the residential market. There are specific barriers which make a large-scale application of business models for the residential building particularly difficult. However, there are several opportunities and favorable conditions for the definition and deployment of innovative business models that can transform the residential energy markets.
