    What this call funds

    This LIFE call funds projects that make it easier and cheaper to renovate buildings for energy efficiency, either by scaling up business models that stimulate renovation demand and reduce costs (Scope A), or by improving the tools used to certify and track building energy performance like Energy Performance Certificates and Renovation Passports (Scope B). Projects must test their solutions in real buildings and show how they will increase renovation rates, reduce costs, and cut energy use and emissions.
