Innovative and tailored Financing Schemes for
Social Housing Refurbishment in Enlarged Europe

VKA2-Projects

Factor 4

The Factor 4’s main objective is to improve the energy efficiency of social housing buildings by
30 % in a short term and more in a long term in order to participate to the reduction of GEG emissions by a factor 4 until 2050 by:

  • real retrofitting actions (including upon the use of the building) on buildings which will still be there in 2030-50
  • technical and non technical recommendations (after an analysis of non technical barriers and a European synthesis), training and dissemination actions, for encouraging other social owners, public and private owners, public administration and local authorities to manage actions (financial ones, rules, regulation (building permit, land planning documents), etc.)
The objective is to define strategic plans and accompanying measures aiming at the reduction of GEG emissions by a factor 4 from 2050, by creating a permanent action plan in order to achieve this objective. Factor 4 aims at being a real actor in the European strategy as regarding GEG.
