The Rural Renovation Roadmaps, developed by the EU-funded RENOVERTY project, offer clear, practical guidance on technical, legislative, and financial options, simplifying the renovation process for energy-poor households. 

By tackling barriers such as complex administrative requirements, limited funding, and a lack of qualified professionals, the roadmaps enable rural homeowners to plan renovations tailored to their specific needs and budget.

The roadmaps offer adaptable frameworks for rural municipalities to address building renovation, energy poverty, and carbon footprint reduction in ways that are both practical and community focused.
