2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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
