+ | Several municipalities and regions have already implemented successful, cost-effective strategies to achieve high standards of energy efficiency using Passive House supplied as much as possible by renewable energies as the foundation.\\ | ||

+ | ===== Comparative analysis of "front runner regions" | ||
+ | |||
+ | In its initial phase, the PassREg project looked to three European pilot regions: Hanover (Germany), Brussels (Belgium) and Tyrol (Austria). A comparative analysis was carried out to identify major trends and parameters and to communicate both achievements and failures on the road to success – the so called [[http:// | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | The comparative analysis of the front runner regions has produced an enormous wealth of good practices and solutions which, combined with the professional knowledge gleaned through the project and a pinch of imagination, | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | ===== Three regions - three approaches ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The achievements in all three front runner regions are remarkable, although the initial conditions and approaches taken are quite different: Hanover’s success is based on a longstanding political consensus on the strategic goals of the region. Brussels has recently seen an explosion of Passive House construction as a result of its ambitious new legislation and successful incentive schemes. Tyrol stands as a great example of regional and local initiatives and the pioneering role of limited profit housing associations. | ||

+ | ===== Common denominators ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Although different in nature, ranging from top-down approaches to bottom-up movements, all examples lead to the conclusion that a stable and coherent legal framework is a must, but can only work in combination with a working incentive system, accessible to all target groups. Close interaction between different levels of governance are another factor characteristic for the three regions. Sustainable networking activities among stakeholders, | ||

+ | ===== Capacity for change ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The success factors identified lead up to what can be described as ‘capacity for change’. This set of ingredients includes all stakeholders, | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | ===== Key findings ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Even at this early stage, the message is quite clear: appropriate national regulatory frameworks create favourable conditions, but do not reduce the need for the active involvement of regional and local authorities who, in turn, need to be supported by accessible incentive schemes (or provide support, depending on the administrative structure) . With all these mechanisms in place, building “capacity for change” by involving a wide range of local partners and stakeholders is key to their success. The competence of these actors is an important prerequisite for their effective contribution and the only way to create new sustainable industries and jobs, thus supporting overall economic growth.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Based on these findings, the Success Guide will help to produce many new ideas and solutions at local and regional level – which is where change actually happens.\\ | ||
