From renovation needs to the right solutions: Discover the POSIFIT Marketplace

Choosing the right renovation solution can be complex. The POSIFIT Marketplace is being developed as a digital one-stop shop that brings suitable technologies, clear information and decision-support services together in one coherent journey.

Renovating a home should not feel like solving a puzzle across dozens of websites. Yet building owners and professionals often have to search in different places to understand the building’s needs, compare technologies and identify suitable providers. This fragmented information can make the first steps towards renovation slower and more difficult than necessary.

POSIFIT is responding by developing a digital Marketplace within its common platform: a practical one-stop shop that connects identified renovation needs with suitable solutions through a clearer journey.

What is the POSIFIT Marketplace?

The POSIFIT Marketplace is being designed as a structured, user-friendly catalogue for energy-efficient and energy-positive homes. Instead of a simple list of external links, it will organise technologies and services into categories, offer filters and provide dedicated pages for each solution.

Where data are available, users will be able to explore technical characteristics, potential energy and environmental benefits, financial considerations and provider proximity. This will help them identify options that fit the building, its renovation priorities and their objectives.

A renovation journey in four steps

  1. Identify the need. POSIFIT’s assessment and decision-support services help highlight the areas where intervention may be most valuable.
  2. Explore suitable solutions. Users can browse and filter a structured catalogue of active and passive renovation technologies and services.
  3. Compare the options. Solution pages bring together relevant information so users can better understand the expected contribution of each option.
  4. Take the next step. A checkout or request workflow will allow users to record their selection and connect with the relevant provider for further assessment and follow-up.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION

The Marketplace supports early decision-making and the transition towards procurement. Final technical assessment, contracting, payment and installation remain the responsibility of the selected professional or solution provider.

More than a product directory

The main value of the Marketplace comes from its connection with the wider POSIFIT platform, which brings together services for building assessment, modelling, decision support, monitoring, circularity and financing. The Marketplace can therefore act as the bridge between understanding a building’s needs and identifying solutions that respond to them.

This approach is expected to reduce information fragmentation and unnecessary hand-offs during the early stages of renovation. It will also allow choices to be informed by outputs from other POSIFIT services.

Designed for the renovation ecosystem

Building owners and occupants gain a clearer route through renovation choices and access to understandable information.

Architects, engineers and facility managers can explore and compare solutions that respond to specific building needs and project objectives.

Technology and service providers gain a structured channel through which their solutions can reach renovation professionals and end users.

Supporting informed and sustainable choices

Energy performance is essential, but costs, expected savings, emissions, circularity, comfort, aesthetics and local availability may also influence a renovation choice. The POSIFIT Marketplace is intended to help users consider these dimensions together whenever the necessary data are available.

By linking decision-support results with commercially available solutions, POSIFIT aims to make the path from analysis to action more transparent and easier to navigate.

What comes next?

The Marketplace is currently under development as part of the POSIFIT platform. Its catalogue, filters, solution pages and request workflow will be refined through testing and feedback from the pilot sites and stakeholder community. The ambition is simple: less time searching for fragmented information and more time making confident renovation decisions. Follow POSIFIT to discover the next steps.
