GNE’s role is crucial in developing innovative contractual relationships for sustainable construction and renovation. Leading Task 5.4, GNE will design non-standard contracts and procurement approaches to support innovation and performance-based contracting. Collaborating with WP3 and WP4, GNE will establish schemes that enable the implementation of new technologies, integrating lessons from WP4 to ensure smooth execution.
