Horia Petran, president of Cluster pRO-nZEB, criticized the reliance on public funding for energy renovations, calling it a "toxic approach" that encourages passivity among homeowners. He emphasized the importance of combining public funds with financial instruments that involve the property owners, ensuring that support is linked to performance outcomes. Petran highlighted the need for clear quality requirements and verification processes in renovation projects, warning that without proper information, funding may go unused. He also discussed the significance of measuring energy performance during construction and suggested that the total cost of homeownership should include ongoing expenses, not just the purchase price.
