🎉 Exciting news! Our latest research paper, "Integrated Home Renovation Services as a Means to Boost Energy Renovations for Homeowner Associations: A Comparative Analysis of Service Providers’ Business Models" has been published in the Energy and Buildings journal. 🔍 In this study, which is part of my PhD research at Delft University of Technology and the EU LIFE_CondoReno project, we looked into how integrated home renovation services can assist Homeowner Associations (HOAs) (also known in the Netherlands as VvE’s and in Belgium as VMEs) in undertaking significant energy retrofits. Building on our previous research identifying barriers faced by HOAs and possible solutions https://lnkd.in/ebq2GvFS , this paper investigates, evaluates and compares the business models of 14 service providers who are working on facilitating energy renovations for HOAs, mainly in the Netherlands and Flanders but also frontrunners from France and Austria. 💡 We highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each model and offer strategic suggestions for improvement. The paper also outlines essential policy recommendations and discusses future directions for our ongoing CondoReno project. 📚 Feel free to read the full paper for a deeper understanding of our findings and their implications for energy renovations across Europe. Full paper> https://lnkd.in/eWxrfBA7 I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the co-authors of this paper Erwin Mlecnik, Henk Visscher, and Queena K Qian and the dedicated team at CondoReno whose invaluable contributions made this study possible. I would also like to thank Eugenio Muccio for the fruitful discussions we had over the data analysis section.

🕵♂️ What barriers do homeonwers' associations face when pursuing #EnergyRenovations? Poor communication, high cost and unfit legal structures are the major barriers preventing energy renovations in #Condominiums. These challenges are part of a complex matrix that includes increased maintenance costs post-renovation; challenges for small, unregistered homeowners associtions; and a scarcity of qualified advisors. These are the results from the latest paper by our colleagues from Delft University of Technology Ragy Elgendy, Erwin Mlecnik and Queena K Qian together with Henk Visscher. The study sheds light on the significant challenges faced by homeowner associations when pursuing energy renovation works, which represent around 46% of the housing stock in Europe.
