Renovation through quality supply chains and energy performance certification standardsEU programme supported by Intelligent Energy Europe
Project summary
Goal: Enhance the uptake of EPC recommendations and of low carbon renovation measures in residential properties across Europe for all ownership tenures
Focus: easy access for property owners to qualitative EPC recommendations and a reliable quality installer or range of professionals
Objective: provide national and regional EU agencies with a set of tools and techniques to offer to dwelling owners and building professionals involved in residential property renovations

Background to REQUEST
EPCs: provide information and recommendations about what could be done in a home
Key barrier to action: qualitative EPC recommendations and access to a reliable quality installer or range of professionals
REQUEST strives to address this by:– Enabling different trades and professions to work together to
deliver low carbon renovations– Motivating homeowners or landlords to invest in property
renovations whether in response to EPC recommendations or through other means
3
REQUEST has a unique focus on the link between supply and demand side of low carbon renovations
Key objectives
1. Establish an inventory of tools, techniques and schemes for promoting access to an integrated supply chain for low carbon renovation
2. Develop tools & strategies for stimulating & promoting action on EPC recommendations
3. Development of a new, replicable, mechanism for quality assurance in the delivery of low carbon renovation
4. Test and measure the impact of the theoretical framework by means of national pilot projects

Expected results
30 quality schemes and procedures identified in 15 EU MS and 5 other countries
Summaries of best practice on communication of EPC recommendations and quality schemes for the renovation supply chain
Two scenarios for promoting the uptake of EPC recommendations by building owners
Two sets of targeted information - one for building owners, one for building professionals
5
Expected results continued
Actively engaged energy agencies in at least 15 EU Member States
20 workshops delivered attended by 400 building professionals (craftsmen)
100 craftsmen using the quality standards
10 national pilots completed, results analysed to inform theoretical framework
Quantification of the direct energy and carbon saved from the pilots
