One way of reducing the use of fossil fuels in Denmark is to look into possible energy savings in the building stock, especially the large number of single-family houses from 1960-80. Energy renovation in this housing segment is progressing slowly.The aim of this project was to find out how a One-Stop-Shop (OSS) or full-service concept could be used to guide the extensive energy renovation of single-family houses. The purpose was partly to identify the benefits and disadvantages of using the concept, and partly to evaluate its potential for increasing the degree of renovation. The scope of the project was to carry out renovations on up to three houses.The project showed that the concept on its own was not enough to motivate the house owners to engage in extensive renovation. However, interviews with the house owners indicated that the renovation that took place had probably been expanded and improved due to the use of the concept, and that the renovation in general benefitted from an independent advisor.
