Cities and regions, give your citizens a home renovation gift box

A local One-Stop-Shop guides homeowners through the often-challenging journey of home renovation. Under a single roof, it brings together a comprehensive range of services: from initial consultation, energy audits, and project design to selecting trusted contractors, securing financing, and managing and monitoring renovation work. What can be a complex and risky process becomes simple, safe, and stress-free.

Think of the One-Stop Shop as a complete home energy renovation “gift box” for your citizens. And the benefits don’t stop there: energy auditors, local construction companies, installers, suppliers, and the broader local economy all experience the positive ripple effects.

Do you want to make ambitious and high-quality energy renovations accessible to all your citizens? Do you want to stimulate local economic growth? Do you want to implement local policies aligned with EU and national energy and climate goals?

One-Stop-Shop creates new local jobs and empowers local companies

One-Stop Shops don’t just make home renovations easier, they supercharge local job creation and empower small businesses. By driving demand for renovations, they directly support local contractors, suppliers, and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (which make up 99.9% of the EU construction market).

The numbers speak for themselves: For every €1 million invested in energy-efficient building renovations, an average of 18 long-term local jobs are created, with even higher impacts in countries like Croatia (29 jobs), Estonia (17), Finland (16), Italy (15), and Spain (18).

How do you make it happen? It won’t be simple, and it won’t be quick. Success depends on your local context and the actors in your market. That’s why all the steps involved can’t be summarized on a single page. But the results are more than worth it!
