This paper presents the challenges and
possibilities in the journey of establishing One-Stop-Shop (OSS) for energy
renovation with three case examples. The paper compares three models; municipality
owned (Cyprus), private and public-private partnership with operational support
from municipalities (Netherlands), and privately owned and market based
(Sweden) OSS models. The study is based on the situational analysis with market
gap identification for the energy renovation of the dwellings and CANVAS
analysis of the studied OSS models. The commonalities and peculiarities of
different OSS models have been closely observed and the strength and weaknesses
within these models are critically discussed. The analysis has shown that lack
of awareness, inconvenience and cumbersome renovation process and lack of
access to finance are the common challenges of energy renovation market. The
study has also shown that the OSS model and its setting up journey may vary
depending upon the market conditions, readiness, existing level of government
support, and nature of the organization willing to initiate the OSS.
