	ACER BOLOGNA \| ACER Bologna is a public body, responsible for managing public housing in Bologna. They manage a large number of condominiums rented out to vulnerable users and are wholly responsible for the decision-making process. Since it manages flats for vulnerable tenants at subsidized rents, ACER is highly qualified to contribute in the field of “extreme” renovation conditions, thus representing/providing a reliable “stress test” in the framework of building energy renovation. ACER constantly carries out energy efficiency interventions and has expressed great interest in the re-MODULEES platform, since it can provide a well-equipped toolbox, where users can find the technological solutions, their certified effectiveness and relevant costs.
	ASPPI MODENA \| The Association of local homeowners – ASPPI (Associazione Piccoli Proprietari) of the Modena Province currently associates about 5,000 homeowners and about 550 condominiums. ASPPI fully represents the interests and needs of small homeowners/landlords who are the key element to trigger the renovation process. Given the wide real estate assets managed by ASPPI Modena, their contribution to re-MODULEES is essential and it acts as an “aggregator” who can offer multiple opportunities to test & validate the re-MODULEES. ASPPI is very interested in the support that re-MODULEES can give in the evaluation of the renovation investment, in obtaining correct and unbiased information about the interventions and in the technological solutions offered by the re-MODULEES Platform, which could also allow carrying out renovation interventions in the context of historical centers.
	Legambiente Emilia-Romagna \| Legambiente is an association which protecting the environment on a solid scientific basis and connects the environmental issue with the needs of citizens and local contexts. A particular focus is put on problems related to the environmental and urban degradation of cities and the link between the economy and the environment. Moreover, Legambiente is constantly interested in raising awareness and training of citizens. In the Project framework, Legambiente expects to disseminate the capitalisation work of re-MODULEES in order to provide local contexts with information on the concrete opportunities for renovation and urban regeneration that may exist, also exploiting the support of financial institutions.
	Emilia- Romagna Regional Authority \| The Emilia-Romagna Regional authority is an autonomous entity with defined powers in regional affairs as granted by state legislation to which it is subordinate and establishes regional legislation concurrent with the national one as regards to energy efficiency. The regional authority is very interested in capitalising European projects such as re-MODULEES. This capitalisation is essential to address two aspects that are particularly important to the Region: 1) the financial dimension, i.e. understanding how the regional authority can act with respect to the funds made available and what can be improved since the Regional Authority is defining the regional energy plans; 2) the regulatory aspect, since the regulatory framework is complex and multi-level. Therefore it is important to consider possible interventions to harmonize it. With regard to innovation, the Region is interested in testing new technologies that can promote innovation and the greening. In turn, the Regional Authority can contribute with good practices that can be shared already at the methodological level providing support in raising the awareness of citizens towards regeneration and offering pilot sites for testing and validating the re-MODULEES solutions.
	ANCI Emilia-Romagna \| ANCI (Associazione Nazionale Comuni Italiani) is the association of Italian municipalities and, at regional level, represents the municipalities of Emilia-Romagna.

It actively supports its co-operative members since it represents at regional level all member co-operatives and companies, acting as bearer for their interests and for the common needs; it coordinates at regional level the policies of the territorial and sectoral associations that compose LEGACOOP. LEGACOOP can play the fundamental role of “aggregator” providing many opportunities to test and validate re-MODULEES solutions and subsequently launch large scale pilot projects not only at regional but also at national level (NSN).
	CONFCOOPERATIVE EMILIA-ROMAGNA \| Confcooperative E-R associates about 1700 cooperatives in E-R belonging to all economic sectors, from agriculture to construction. From a technical point of view, competences are not in the association, which instead has a political role of liaison. ConfCooperatives is very interested in the Project potential to foster the interaction with institutions in order to bring the fundamental demand aggregation instance to the legislator at regional level. In addition, the project could offer a platform available to all and for free, which would be a simple tool to make the renovation interventions more attractive to demand. re-MODULEES can provide support in overcoming the problems of construction companies and the training of SMEs that are lagging behind in planning and doing business, compared to other countries. ConfCooperative is expected to provide suggestions to understand how to aggregate families and users and at the same time do it in a co-operative form.

Together with the Technopoles and the High Technology Network laboratories, they are one of the key players in the regional innovation ecosystem coordinated by ART-ER. The Clust-ER aims to promote the development of energy and sustainability sectors. ClustER Greentech expects that the capitalization of previous and ongoing projects offered by re-MODULEES will allow developing a new knowledge base on the renovation process. She believes that communicating/sharing/exchanging experiences/good practices are essential to overcome barriers which hamper the renovation market uptake.
	FedIngER \| FedIngER (Federazione Regionale Ordini Ingegneri dell’Emilia Romagna) is composed of the Professional Associations of the Engineers of the seven provinces of the Emilia-Romagna Region and represents the ideal institution for connecting and coordinating the activities of the single professional associations, while respecting their autonomy. FedIngER can provide valuable technical support to re-MODULEES by representing the professionals of Emilia-Romagna, conveying their innovation needs and suggesting solutions for the renovation market uptake. re-MODULEES offers the opportunity to collaborate with a network of professionals in the incentive framework currently in force (e.g. Superbonus and Ecobonus). The current incentivizing scenario represents a significant opportunity both from an economic point of view and in terms of updating and training the stakeholders of the retrofitting value chain. The contribution to re-MODULEES expected from FedIngER consists in promoting a uniform and clear operational approach to energy renovation interventions to be applied by all the professionals at local level.
	CNA Ravenna \| CNA is the Italian Confederation of Craft Trades and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises at local level (Ravenna Province).
