 Abstract: Renovation at district scale is a key strategy to reduce CO2 emissions by optimising the implementation of renewable energy sources and taking advantage of economy of scale. This paper focuses on analysing good practice examples on energy renovations at district scale. The paper adapts a qualitative research methodology in four phases, including the multi-perspective analysis of nine exemplary renovation projects in six European countries, including identification of drivers and barriers of different stakeholders. It is found that the drivers for a district renovation are not restricted to energy savings, but typically also include improving the overall quality of life as well as the image and economic value of a district. Moreover, the need for financial models that can alleviate split-incentive problems between investors and resident organizations is identified. Barriers for carrying out a district renovation include that there is a need to comply with energy standards, t

  With the   Lely Astronaut   automated milking system we utilize the most advanced technology to milk your cows, direct them to greener pastures and provide you with the information you need to ensure your herd is performing at its peak. To us, farming is about a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future. For more than twenty years we have been perfecting a system that allows you to have those things and also a lifestyle that allows you to be more than a dairy farmer to those who matter most.
