Green Deal ARV

Financing home retrofits is notoriously challenging. Could retrofit carbon credits help bridge the financing gap? We worked with City of Palma and IREC to assess the feasibility of carbon credit revenue to finance residential energy retrofits in the ARV project in Palma de Mallorca. Our findings show that district-scale deep renovations can cut ~1,900 tonnes of CO2e per year, but current carbon prices are too low for profit. Communicating social benefits, alongside reducing operating costs, especially for monitoring and verification, and high-quality carbon credits are key to unlocking that premium. We identified future opportunities in: ?? Finance: Use carbon credits as collateral for energy efficiency financing , and explore other digital financing solutions? ?? Data: Integrate digital MRV, streamline emissions reduction calculations? ?? Demand creation: Build coalition/pipeline of national buyers and link to local project ecosystems ?? Methodologies and standards: Test existing data frameworks’ feasibility to underpin carbon credits financing, develop (better) methodologies to capture social value Get in touch if you're tackling similar challenges or are interested in the future opportunities - we are looking for partners to explore those next!

?? ARV Reading Corner ?? Our project has a reading corner where we will be presenting all the insightful reports and literature produced during our journey toward Climate Positive Circular Communities #CPCC Check our latest report 'Design building-linked financing instruments'. This report gives a proof of concept assessing whether carbon credits can help finance energy retrofits. The developed tool evaluates the financial and methodological feasibility of Palma de Mallorca’s large-scale retrofitting pilot and carbon credit potential, finding that profitability requires district-scale retrofitting alongside significantly higher carbon prices or lower operational costs ?? ?? ?? ?

?? ??? ARV e-marketplace - presenting the first item??? ?? ?????????????? ???? ???????????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????? ??????????????????. ??? Raising climate awareness among citizens entails a multi-faceted approach, where using educational facilities for the sustainability teaching of pupils and citizens is particularly pertinent. ?? Where? Oslo Voldsl?kka School is transforming the way it engages with climate issues by turning the school into a #LivingLab" for sustainability. The initiative focuses on energy transition and circularity by involving secondary school students, their families, and the local community. ??The goal? Raising awareness on energy-efficient solutions and fostering sustainable behavior in the neighborhood. ?? How? Through co-creation and dialogue with young people, the project highlights the importance of their perspectives in the sustainability conversation, often missing in urban transformations. With innovative tools like AR/VR, the Living Lab aims to engage digital-native youth in climate and energy action, empowering them to be green ambassadors for the future. ??The potential positive impact? Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions towards zero for the total lifecycle.
