PERCEE Webinar: Unlocking Financing and Technical Assistance for Energy-Efficient Renovations
What is the secret of a building renovation programme that has been running for 15 years?
How can Slovak One-Stop Shops change the game for homeowners?
And what practical lessons can CEE countries learn from each other to accelerate renovation?
Join us for a focused and practical webinar that brings together financing and technical assistance experts from the region. We’ll explore real-world case studies from Czechia and Slovakia, share lessons on what works (and what doesn’t), and offer inspiration for scaling up renovation support under the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
Why to Join
- Discover how Czechia’s New Green Savings Programme became one of the most stable and accessible subsidy schemes in the EU. Hear how it evolved over 15 years—improving clarity, simplifying access, and reaching tens of thousands of households—without raising subsidy levels.
- Learn how Slovakia is responding to the forthcoming adoption of the revised EPBD by developing a national framework of One-Stop Shops (OSSs). Discover how technical assistance and OSSs are helping homeowners overcome barriers to renovation—particularly the fragmented support landscape and the lack of clear, accessible technical and financial information.
- Gain insight into financing strategies, policy frameworks, and hands-on technical support that make a real difference.
