EUSEW19 Awards winner Transition Zero – EnergieSprong

We met Ron Van Erck, Head of International Market Development, and Sébastien Delpont, Director of EnergieSprong France, and asked them a few questions about their project and Horizon2020 funding. 

Can you tell us what is your project about? 

Ron Van Erck: The project tries to create a market for high quality retrofits in Europe. It’s based on the Dutch initiative EnergieSprong, which has been scaled to about 5000 net-zero energy retrofits in Europe and scaled them to France and the UK, where first projects has now been completed as well. The idea is that retrofits not only provide a super energy efficient house but also a house that is much more desirable to look at and to live in for people who live in there. I think that by industrialising the solution it becomes much easier to bring high-quality and quick-to-install desirable solutions to consumers. 

Sébastien Delpont: Indeed, the project is about transforming the whole housing stocks of existing buildings, which is very energy consuming, into net-zero energy buildings.
