New course opportunity

One-Stop Shops (OSS) are a well-established model for supporting home renovation. When combined with citizen-led approaches, they offer a growing opportunity to empower communities and drive sustainable change.

This training course is designed for energy communities, cooperatives, and other citizen-led organisations involved in home renovation who are interested in learning more about how the One-Stop Shop model works—and how they can develop or deliver such services themselves.

Key topics of the course:

  • Module 1: Understanding Citizen-Led Renovation One-Stop Shop Models
  • Module 2: Service design for Citizen-Led Renovation One-Stop Shops
  • Module 3: Skills for Citizen-Led Renovation One-Stop Shops
  • Module 4: Legal and Financial Considerations for Citizen-Led Renovation One-Stop Shops
  • Module 5: ICT Tools to Support Citizen-Led Renovation One-Stop Shops

This training course was developed as part of the “One Stop Renovation Co-op” LIFE project (“OSR-Coop project”), which brought together frontrunner cooperatives that are already deploying home renovation services at the local level, in a variety of contexts and geographical areas. The OSR Coop project has received funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union. 

The authors of this training course content are Sandy Rushton (People Powered Retrofit) and Srgjan Vidoeski (REScoop.eu). The authors benefited from input from all OSR Coop partners and People Powered Retrofit.
