COHERENO

The objective of COHERENO is to strengthen collaboration of enterprises in innovative business models for realizing Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) renovations in single family owner occupied houses. The project focuses on eliminating barriers for collaboration, providing enterprises with guidance on how to collaborate and on developing services for the different customer segments.

Examples of NZEB single family house renovations in five partner countries are used to identify experienced actors. Business Collaboration Events are being organized to counter the fragmentation of market players on the supply side and to encourage collaboration along the supply chain. The events are paving the way for the uptake of new business models and they will be a starting point for a long term NZEB renovation network beyond the COHERENO project.

Quality Assurance mechanisms will be cost-effectively integrated into the business models to increase customer confidence and to ensure that predicted energy savings are achieved and costs are limited. The methodology of the project is based on Business Model Generation of Osterwalder & Pigneur, which proved to be useful in the Nordic project SuccessFamilies and the Eracobuild One Stop Shop Project.
