The work of the EBENTO consortium will go far beyond technical innovation, it will deliver tangible benefits to society, the renovation sector, and the wider European economy. As the project’s integrated tools reach operational maturity, the focus is now shifting toward a key question:

How will EBENTO’s solutions impact the EU building renovation landscape and the people within it?

From job creation to barrier reduction, and from boosting Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs) to enabling smart investments in energy efficiency, EBENTO is setting out to prove that its solutions offer value well beyond the pilot sites.

Measuring What Matters

With the One-Stop-Shop (OSS) platform now active, the EBENTO team is turning its attention to evaluating the broader societal and economic impact of its work. Central to this effort is the definition and monitoring of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) — metrics that will help assess how EBENTO contributes to accelerating building renovation rates, generating employment opportunities, improving indoor environmental quality and comfort and empowering citizens and local stakeholders

The project also seeks to understand how digital tools and EPCs can unlock investment, reduce administrative and financial barriers, and scale energy efficiency measures across EU Member States.

Scaling for Impact

This impact assessment will not only quantify results — it will also inform replication and scaling strategies to ensure EBENTO’s benefits reach more communities across Europe. This work will continue through the final phase of the project, with further insights and findings to be shared in the coming months.

Tracking Social Impact: A New Tool for a Better Future

To support this process, the consortium has developed an internal tool: the EBENTO Social Impact Tracker. Originally designed to log qualitative data linked to social KPIs, the Tracker has now evolved into a collaborative instrument for transparency, structure, and partner alignment.

The tool enables partners to input reports from pilot sites directly into a centralised database, matched to the relevant social indicators. These reports — gathered through questionnaires, interviews, and event feedback — help monitor how different activities affect stakeholders, from homeowners to local authorities.

So far, data from all pilot sites have been entered, providing valuable insight into common challenges and successes across different regional contexts.

As pilot activities intensify toward the project’s final phase, the Tracker will also support qualitative evaluation — ensuring that social impact is not just measured, but understood and acted upon.
