Replication Support for #nZEB Ready

Overview
The Replication Roadmap developed within the project serves as a strategic guide to facilitate the replication of the nZEB Ready initiative across diverse regions and contexts. It offers practical tools and insights, along with a comprehensive overview of our experiences during project implementation. The roadmap focuses on raising awareness, providing training, offering stakeholder support, and presenting practical applications tailored for both policymakers and industry professionals. Broadly, it is structured as follows:

  1. Market Readiness and Replication Strategy
  • Objective:
    Enhance market readiness for the implementation of nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEB) through strategic actions and stakeholder engagement.
  • Description:
    The Replication Strategy outlines four primary pillars for replication:
    1. Awareness – Increasing understanding of nZEB benefits.
    2. Training – Enhancing professional capacities.
    3. Support Tools – Providing practical resources for nZEB implementation.
    4. Building Replication Profiles – Tailoring replication based on local contexts and market readiness.
  1. Country-Specific Success Stories and Tools

This section provides an overview of the replication success in specific partner countries and highlights the tools that were effective in those contexts. Here are some examples:

  • Bulgaria
    • Key strategies: Public awareness campaigns, study tours, and training programs tailored to the national market needs.
  • Croatia
    • Success with engaging the new generation of professionals through educational workshops, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and training in bioclimatic design.
  • Portugal
    • National efforts to adopt nZEB standards and tailor them to the local climate, legislation, and professional practices.
  1. Training Programs for Professionals
