Abstract
The building stock accounts for a significant portion of worldwide energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. While the majority of the existing building stock has poor energy performance, deep renovation efforts are stymied by a wide range of human, technological, organisational and external environment factors across the value chain. A key challenge is integrating appropriate human resources, materials, fabrication, information and automation systems and knowledge management in a proper manner to achieve the required outcomes and meet the relevant regulatory standards, while satisfying a wide range of stakeholders with differing, often conflicting, motivations. RINNO is a Horizon 2020 project that aims to deliver a set of processes that, when working together, provide a system, repository, marketplace and enabling workflow process for managing deep renovation projects from inception to implementation. This paper presents a roadmap for an open renovation platform for managing and delivering deep renovation projects for residential buildings based on seven design principles. We illustrate a preliminary stepwise framework for applying the platform across the full-lifecycle of a deep renovation project. Based on this work, RINNO will develop a new open renovation software platform that will be implemented and evaluated at four pilot sites with varying construction, regulatory, market and climate contexts.

Deep renovation refers to the combination of several simultaneous renovation measures into one integrated strategy acting upon the building envelope and installation system, rather than discrete independent measures [13]
Summary
Introduction published maps and institutional affilEnergy decarbonisation and sustainable development are key strategic priorities for nations worldwide as recognised in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement [1,2]. Different terms are often used interchangeably with respect to deep renovation, but such terms can have significant implications for renovation projects. These definitions of deep renovation can be largely categorised as “broad” and “narrow”. The broad definition treats deep renovation with respect to its integrative characteristics From this perspective, deep renovation refers to the combination of several simultaneous renovation measures into one integrated strategy acting upon the building envelope and installation system, rather than discrete independent measures [13]. Not in a mutually exclusive way, the narrow definition of deep renovation relates to performance. This is the approach taken by the EU’s Energy Efficiency
