This CondoReno Deliverable is a comprehensive document designed to aid Condominium Associations (CAs) in the Netherlands and Flanders with energy renovations. Spearheaded by WNR with collaboration from experts at TU Delft and other institutions, the deliverable introduces a Renovation Roadmap and a Financial Calculation Tool. These are intended to streamline the renovation process by providing a structured approach and simplifying financial decisions for CAs. The Renovation Roadmap serves as a strategic guide, helping CAs understand the entire renovation journey, including the necessary decisions and the roles of different stakeholders. This step-by-step plan (investment proposal method) provides guidance on when which decisions should be made, linked to a decision by the GM. In addition to the widely supported start of a renovation process, the most important decisions are the decision to invest and the final assignment to renovate. Alongside this, the Financial Calculation Tool offers a preliminary financial overview, enabling CAs to assess the economic feasibility of renovations before committing. This tool is particularly designed to present a simplified comparison of costs before and after renovations, incorporating variables like potential subsidies and energy savings, though it does not account for inflation to maintain a consistent comparison basis. The investments and energy savings come from the advisory reports or master plan studies of various types of consultants, such as architects or engineering firms. The primary aim of this deliverable is to facilitate the decision-making process for CAs, reducing barriers to undertaking deep renovations. By providing a clear financial picture and potentially demonstrating cost savings and benefits over time, the tool encourages more CAs to commit to substantial energy efficiency improvements. Future plans for the deliverable include a series of reviews and updates to refine the tool, with considerations for developing it into an app or interactive web tool based on the outcomes of these reviews and available budget. This progression is aimed at enhancing accessibility and user interaction, further supporting CAs in their renovation endeavours. The ultimate goal is to accelerate energy renovations across condominiums by equipping CAs with necessary insights and tools for informed decision-making.
