RenoBooster is an EU Horizon 2020 funded project developed in Vienna that aims to increase the number of green renovations of private housing, thereby contributing to decarbonisation in the city. Vienna supports citizens and private companies through the creation of a renovation hub that provides guidance throughout the refurbishment process and creates links between supply and demand.
Vienna has set ambitious climate targets: it wants to reduce GHG emissions by 55% by 2030 and be climate neutral by 2040. Decarbonisation of the building sector through refurbishment of the housing stock is one of the main obstacles to achieving the city’s climate neutral objectives.
A city under renovation
In 2019, Vienna set up the RenoBooster project financed by Horizon2020, which granted
EUR 1.9 million to the city. RenoBooster has strengthened renovations through the creation of an advice centre called “ Hauskunft”, which guides building owners throughout the renovation process to help improve the quality of the outcome, increase energy savings and reduce CO2 emissions
One of the main goals of the project was to generate interest among the general public in Vienna in carrying out energy-efficient renovation initiatives.
