Public Building Regional Renovation Service Package for Large Scale Deployment

Introduction

BAOBAP’s ambition is to accelerate the renovation rate and improve the energy saving gains of public building renovations in small and mid-size municipalities through the deployment of multiple regional units of BAOBAP’s renovation support service across France and Europe in order to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and achieve 40% energy savings by 2030.

Current Challenges

Current building renovation rates are unaligned with the EU’s and Member States’ objectives on GHG emission reductions, energy savings and, most recently, the shift away from fossil energy sources in favor of local renewable energy vectors.

Incidentally, the capacity to renovate the public buildings of small and mid-size municipalities is hindered by:

• A lack of in-house technical staff
• Financial resources
• Unfit support services
• Scattered financial aids that do not always require ambitious energy savings to be granted

BAOBAP's Strategy

BAOBAP will mobilize the existing network of support services established during the BAPAURA project in order to create regional units of support services – Regional Renovation Support Packages. The project will deploy a strengthened support service to 5 Regions in France and begin testing in another EU country.

This will be achieved by focusing on three main dimensions:

1. Establishment of the regional support services
2. Testing and experimenting of pilots to strengthen toolbox and methodologies
3. Dissemination activities that will be in charge of BAOBAP’s National and International reach and sustainability

Implementation Plan

BAOBAP will start working with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Occitanie Regions and will transfer the operational capacities of the support service to three more French regions and another EU country.

Expected Outcomes

Thanks to the deployment of BAOBAP:

• 350 municipalities will be supported
• 390 buildings will be renovated
• 23.4 GWh/year of final energy savings will be generated
• 6,240 tCO2eq/year will not be emitted
• 168 million € will be invested by the end of the project
