Abstract

The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) aims for a fully decarbonized European building stock by 2050. (EC, 2024) Energy Performance Contracting (EnPC) offers a promising solution to enhance renovation rates, yet long payback periods remain a barrier. This paper presents a novel EnPC business model incorporating implicit and explicit flexibility services to reduce payback time and enhance profitability. The study utilizes literature reviews and stakeholder interviews from the EBENTO project to develop and validate this approach. Findings indicate that integrating flexibility services can generate additional revenue streams, optimize energy consumption, and shorten contract durations, making EnPCs more viable for residential applications.
