Abstract

Fifteen success stories from seven European countries have been collected within the framework of IEA EBC Annex 75 (available online in an interactive map: https://annex75.iea-ebc.org/success-stories). These success stories are exemplary interventions (mainly publicly owned, which largely condition the results of this report) involving district-based solutions for renewable energy use and energy efficiency measures. The scope of the renovation varies from one success story to another, and, in some cases, it was limited to measures either on the energy systems or on the thermal building envelope. It is documented to what extent the combination of energy efficiency measures on the building envelopes and renewable energy systems has been considered in the selected cases investigated and to what extent grid-based solutions were considered advantageous concerning individual heating or cooling solutions in the district. A special emphasis on the decision-making process as well as on challenges and lessons learned regarding their implementation is made.
