“…A business model describes the rationale of how an organisation creates, delivers, and captures value (Bystedt et al, 2016). In the context of building renovation, the business models range from the traditional 'atomised' and market intermediation model (Brown, 2018) to the emerging and more innovative One-Stop-Shop (Laffont-Eloire et al, 2019) and Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) models (Moschetti & Brattebø, 2016).…”

Renovation at district scale is a key strategy to reduce CO 2 emissions by optimising the implementation of renewable energy sources and taking advantage of economy of scale. This paper focuses on analysing good practice examples on energy renovations at district scale. The paper adapts a qualitative research methodology in four phases, including the multi-perspective analysis of nine exemplary renovation projects in six European countries, including identification of drivers and barriers of different stakeholders.It is found that the drivers for a district renovation are not restricted to energy savings, but typically also include improving the overall quality of life as well as the image and economic value of a district. Moreover, the need for financial models that can alleviate split-incentive problems between investors and resident organizations is identified.Barriers for carrying out a district renovation include that there is a need to comply with energy standards, that the renovation scope had to be limited to avoid a noticeable rent increase and that resettling of tenants during the renovation is often not possible.Lessons learned include that good communication amongst the different stakeholders, especially with residents, plays a key role for the success of the project. Furthermore, a strong leadership is needed to coordinate activities due to the great number of stakeholders.

“…This perception can be attributed to the large number of retrofitted components, their interconnection and the integration of renewable energy sources (Avesani et al, 2020). Moreover, renovation projects are complex to carry out because of the many actors involved (D'Oca et al, 2018) and high risks for contractors due to the lack of lean methods and risk-sharing models (Bystedt et al, 2016).…”

“…According to several studies, the use of modular strategies in construction can achieve time savings of 30 to 50% and ultimately cost savings of 20 to 40% [36]. Furthermore, the modular system represents a new way of thinking about building in the field of insulation, building method, raw materials, labor requirements and overall economy [37].…”

The present paper focuses on the architectural and constructional features required to ensure that building envelope renovation are safe, functional, and adaptable to the building stock, with particular focus on “plug and play” modular facade construction systems. It presents the design of one such system and how it addresses these issues. The outcome of early-stage functional test with a full-scale mock-up system, as well as its applicability to a real construction project is presented. It is found crucial to obtain high quality information about the status of the existing façade with the use of modern technologies such as topographic surveys or 3D scans and point cloud. Detailed design processes are required to ensure the compatibility of manufacture and installation tolerances, along with anchor systems that deliver flexibility for adjustment, and construction processes adapting standard installation methods to the architectural particularities of each case that may hinder its use or require some modification in each situation. This prefabricated plug and play modular system has been tested by reproducing the holistic methodology and new technologies in the market by means of real demonstrators. When compared to more conventional construction methods, this system achieves savings in a real case of 50% (time), 30% (materials) and 25% (waste), thus achieving significant economic savings.
