Theme 7: Value Chain Innovation

Significant efficiencies can be achieved throughout the energy renovation value chain by bundling both energy renovation measures and capacity. This could lead to more cost-effective and faster energy renovations in the residential sector.

This project aims to design a flexible and modular production model to support housing renovations for various building types. The model would efficiently combine existing energy renovation capacities (i.e. organizations) and concepts (i.e. technologies and measures). It will be designed to realize opportunities for energy renovations during natural moments for different building types. It will also result in the development of libraries of standard situations and state-of-the-art solutions for energy renovations.

There are opportunities to standardize and bundle demand across housing associations, and in turn, achieve faster, more cost-effective renovations in the residential building sector.

The aim of this project is to determine standard specifications for low energy renovation and the conditions that make bundling of demand by housing associations possible. The research question is: What asset management strategies and organisational conditions enable and encourage housing associations for (inter)organisational synchronising in the demand for deep renovation?

The project will result in the development of specifications for bundling demand, and will provide a learning environment to share knowledge and experience of bundling demand and matching supply. This project is related to the Renovatieversneller.

New business models are needed to realize a rapid energy transition within the building stock. This project aims to seize an emerging opportunity to aggregate and scale up the efforts of SME construction companies with investors to realize the energy transition. This project aims to implement cost-neutral solutions for energy renovations in residential buildings by developing innovative approaches throughout the construction value chain. The project focuses on scaling up enthusiasm for energy renovations, as well as carrying out affordable, quality renovations with energy guarantees.

The results of this project will be relevant for construction companies, private homeowners, VVE's, investors and social housing associations.
