Enabling the Landscape for Deep Green Renovations

The four key elements for implementation of deep green renovation practices on a national and regional levels are policy and regulation, finance and economics, skills and capacity building and overall awareness. This paper discusses the potential in each of these elements and looks at best existing practices. One of the key challenges of identifying the most successful practices is the impact data collection, meaning that for many of these initiatives only the expected impact is estimated, but no measures to evaluate actual results have been taken. Additionally, paper discusses the necessary connections between these elements in order to reach the quickest possible result and most rapid improvements in the existing building stock. The hypothesis states that the finance for deep green renovations will flow once the society asks for quality in renovations, enough skilled specialists are in place to carry out different works in the deep renovation process and legislation is progress driven and innovation enabling. However, the conclusions state that awareness of society is an umbrella process that needs a continuous improvement through various forums and continuous advocacy to ensure development on other processes related to it.
