Abstract
The energy rehabilitation of buildings in the European Union would mean significant energy savings, and a 26% reduction in consumption. But, despite these benefits and the implemented programs, in Europe the rate of housing renovation is approximately 1%. In Spain, the situation is similar. The barriers (information, technical and economic) faced by homes, contractors, and finance companies are difficult to solve. So, in the international arena, promoted by European directives, appear One-Stop-Shops (OSS) as integrated management entities to promote the energy renovation of dwellings advising homeowners and users. This paper analyses the implemented OSS experiences in Europe, to identify its main elements, and propose lines of action to strengthen OSS operation in long term. To do it, regulations and documents were studied, and a cases database was elaborated. Also explores Spanish experiences through in-depth interviews, detecting barriers and problems faced and the implemented measures. The results suggested that a lack of structural funding is one reason of closing and that successful cases applied ‘all inclusive’ model and supported families in all process. It is highlighted the role played by EU projects in funding and knowledge; as well as the pending solution barriers for families, as obtaining resources.
