Summary/Abstract: The energy efficiency market is fragmented over many types of projects and contract types, small portfolios and many methods for assessing project risk, which disrupts market growth. These current insufficient trends observed in the renovation rates of buildings reveal the urgent need for action. To address this, appropriate implementation of energy efficiency measures which are adopted by the majority of final energy users is a must, but which are the proper initiatives required to further assist the acceleration of the EE projects' successful implementation? The aim of this paper is to present the methodological framework leading to the creation of an effective energy efficiency marketplace, bringing together energy services and sustainable finance techniques, with the ultimate purpose of accelerating building renovation rates. The methodology is focused on the aggregation of energy projects to packaged solutions, so as to transform the complex set of decision-making actions for building renovation into a user-friendly and single-entry ICT-enabled solution.
