NeZeR promotes implementation and smart integration of Nearly Zero Energy Building Renovation (NZEBR) measures and deployment of Renewable Energy Resources (RES) in the European renovation market NZEBR criteria and package solutions with RES Feasibility of NZEBR over traditional renovation NZEBR city action plans National clusters NZEBR design competitions

Background for NeZeR Major renovations aiming for nearly zero energy performance have not yet had a market breakthrough Decision makers, property owners, actors in the building industry executing the renovation and producers of technical components and solutions need knowledge on energy efficiency and utilization of renewable energy sources NeZeR will increase knowledge of NZEBR concepts and benefits among institutional housing owners and in the whole building chain

NeZeR objectives and main steps Using existing knowledge about energy efficient building for concrete guidelines for NZEBR Increasing awareness among all stakeholders (decision makers, building industry, general public) about potential advantages from NZEBR Disseminating the results to stakeholders and collaborating with them in order to enable the efficient implementation Securing the implementation of NZEBR in the partner cities and beyond by stakeholder-specific road maps, city action plans and design competitions

Expected impacts Analysed and relevant business models for successful NZEBR and integration of RES in existing buildings, appropriate for the local conditions National roadmaps with general descriptions of how to achieve mainstream NZEBR and integration of RES from the perspectives of different stakeholder groups. The road maps are made together with national clusters aimed to exist after the project has ended NZEBR design competitions which increase knowledge and produce market-ready NZEBR concepts
