Community Initiatives

Join a community initiative to collectively purchase renovation materials — or start one with your neighbours. Together, you can achieve more.

What Is It?

With a community initiative in your neighbourhood or municipality, you can collectively switch to efficient heat pumps, new windows or insulation, for example. Instead of having to compare lots of different offers yourself, a suitable company is selected according to clear criteria for the group. The more households participate, the cheaper it becomes for everyone.

How Does It Work?

1

Initiate the Idea

As a resident, you start by raising interest in your neighborhood, association, or network and approach a multiplier such as a municipality, local association, or cooperative.

2

Multiplier Engages a Project Coordinator

If the multiplier supports the idea, it is recommended that they partner with a dedicated project coordinator who structures and manages the entire process.

3

Assess Local Potential

Together, the multiplier and coordinator analyse the local building stock and identify suitable components (e.g. heat pumps, insulation, PV).

4

Inform and Engage Homeowners

A communication campaign is launched with info events and clear materials. All information and updates are published on a dedicated campaign website.

5

Non-Binding Registration

Homeowners register without obligation to express interest. This bundled demand enables better conditions and reliable planning.

6

Offers and Installation

Suitable installers are selected, homeowners receive individual discounted offers, and installations are carried out by experienced professionals.
