Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The video provides valuable insights into the practical challenges of implementing EU energy efficiency directives at the local level. The role-play effectively illustrates the complexity of renovation projects and the critical role of one-stop shops in providing neutral advice. The arguments are supported by concrete examples from various European regions, and the panelists’ experiences add credibility. The discussion is well-structured, moving from the EU perspective to local implementation, and highlights both barriers and solutions.
