A collaboration between the city of V\u00f5ru, the FinEst Smart City Center of Excellence, and TalTech, the project aims to create a digital tool for local governments to develop effective building renovation strategies. Addressing the European Union&#8217;s Green Deal&#8217;s ambitious goal of renovating all existing buildings by 2050, RESTO focuses on enhancing energy efficiency and climate neutrality in urban architecture. By collecting and analyzing data on thousands of renovation options for each building, the tool is designed to guide renovations in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. This innovative approach, tested in V\u00f5ru through a specific pilot project, could revolutionize the way cities approach building renovation, balancing historical preservation with modern energy needs.<\/p>\n<p>Thematic Area \u2013 Digitalisation<br \/>\nThematic Sub-category &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buildings &amp; environment<\/li>\n<li>VIED\u0100S PILS\u0112TAS \nRISIN\u0100JUMI UN R\u012aKI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Type of Actor\/Agent &#8211; Local council, Taltech,<br \/>\nFinEst Smart city centre of excellence, others.<br \/>\nTypology of Green Urban Site \u2013 Urban areas<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green City Elements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u0112KAS UN KLIMATA \nP\u0100RMAI\u0145AS<\/li>\n<li>VIEDA \nP\u0100RVALD\u012aBA<\/li>\n<li>VIED\u0100 VIDE<\/li>\n<li>PILSO\u0145U IESAISTE<\/li>\n<li>SENSORIZ\u0100CIJA<\/li>\n<li>M\u0100KSL\u012aGAIS \nINTELEKTS<\/li>\n<li>ENER\u0122IJAS \nTAUP\u012a\u0160ANA<\/li>\n<li>Energy Efficiency in Buildings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Engagement and Consultation:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Target Groups<\/strong> &#8211; Citizens, property owners<br \/>\n<strong>Public Engagement<\/strong> &#8211; Was applied<br \/>\n<strong>Consultation<\/strong> <strong>Tools<\/strong> <strong>Used<\/strong> &#8211; n\/a<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources and Transferability:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Teaching Materials<\/strong>\/<strong>Resources<\/strong>: Video<br \/>\n<strong>Personal Skills Required:<\/strong> High<br \/>\n<strong>Non-discriminatory Principles:<\/strong> Yes<br \/>\n<strong>Transferability Potential:<\/strong> High<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovation and Impact:<br \/>\n<\/strong>RESTO project is marked by its innovative approach to urban renovation, primarily through the development of a sophisticated digital tool to aid local governments in planning and executing building renovations. This tool uniquely integrates extensive data from various sources, analyzing around 6,000 renovation options for each building, with the aim of optimizing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. The impact of this innovation is significant: it enables a more targeted, costeffective approach to renovation, ensuring that buildings, even in heritage-protected areas, can meet modern energy standards without compromising their historical value.<br \/>\n<strong>Expected Impact<\/strong> High<br \/>\n<strong>Level of Scale of Innovation<\/strong> 5<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Budget and Analysis<\/strong>: Budget Spent, Source of Money: 600 000 Euro, EU fonds and Taltech<br \/>\n<strong>Benefits<\/strong>: It enhances energy efficiency and reduces carbon emissions, supporting climate change mitigation.
