LEAF was a three-year project that looked to improve the energy efficiency of multi-occupancy apartment blocks by overcoming the barriers experienced during the retrofit process. With a budget between 100,000 and 1M€, LEAF aimed to the creation of resources to help building owners and managers undertake energy retrofit projects. The toolkits provided advice and information on retrofit and were designed to overcome a number of known barriers. A technical toolkit provided organisations with a greater understanding of the measures that can improve the energy efficiency of their buildings. It featured information on costs, savings, subsidies and user behaviour. An engagement toolkit provided a framework to manage the retrofit process and aid decision-making. It took the form of a step-by-step guide which includes advice and information on communicating with residents, decision-making, obtaining legal agreements and gaining planning permission.
It provided an honest and informative account of the barriers and successes in implementing multioccupancy retrofit.
