- Validate the technical and economic feasibility of the Energiesprong deep energy retrofit approach
- Support regional Market Development Teams (MDTs) in their work to accelerate the market for aggregated deep energy retrofits
- Support deep energy retrofit demonstration projects in community housing buildings in up to six communities (100-150 units per demonstration site)
