This document discusses a project aimed at improving policy instruments to increase energy efficiency in buildings. The project will focus on three pillars: supplementary services from authorities, innovative cooperation models like public-private partnerships, and smart technologies. It will involve partners from several regions developing action plans over three years to test new policies and share results. The goal is to reduce energy consumption and emissions from buildings, which account for 40% of energy usage and 36% of emissions in the EU.

The implementation procedure is based on the following steps:
• Elaboration of regional state of the art analysis related to
the targeted policy instrument and sets its key ambitions
framework;
• learning and knowledge transfer process partners collecting
and sharing good practices and assessing the transferability
and possible adaptation methods;
• Interregional Site Visits followed;
• Action Plans development organised in a way to ensure that
interregional exchange findings.
