Call	Supporting investment in smart living environments for ageing well through certification
Description of call "Supporting investment in smart living environments for ageing well through certification "	Despite its proven potential for systemic change, large-scale investment (both public and private) in sustainable homes still faces barriers, often caused by insecurity about personal, societal and financial returns on investment and a lack of clarity about concrete elements of sustainable age-friendly living environments and the choice of building, retrofitting and adaptation measures to be implemented. This should be achieved by bringing stakeholders together analysing and aligning (emerging) national certification and labelling schemes and facilitating development and exchange of best practices.
