The primary goal of the LIFE heritageHOME project, known as "Integrated Renovation Services for Heritage Homes of Estonia” is to pioneer a comprehensive renovation service that guides owners of historic homes in Estonia through the process of enhancing their properties' energy efficiency.
LIFE heritageHOME builds upon the principles and guidance laid out in the 'European Heritage Green Paper’ and engages a range of national policy makers, heritage operators, researchers and representatives of civil society to facilitate the uptake of these principles in Estonian context. The solutions developed and tested will set up a model on how to facilitate energy-efficient renovations within historical building contexts and equip it with necessary toolbox. Moreover, the project places a strong emphasis on involving homeowners in co-creating solutions and collaborating with scientific and professional communities to harness best practices tailored for heritage homes.
The ultimate aim is to assemble an integrated set of services that effectively surmounts the obstacles impeding energy-efficient renovations for heritage properties. The project's scope includes the development and customization of necessary solutions for the integrated service, boosting the capabilities of key facilitators who support energy renovations for heritage homes, and creating a user-friendly digital platform. This platform will serve as a client-facing interface, making it effortless for property owners to access essential information and navigate the various steps required throughout their renovation journey. Crucially, the solutions devised within LIFE heritageHOME are not solely applicable to heritage homeowners in Estonia; they are designed to be replicable in other European countries.
