Several work groups, focusing on different issues, were established:
Management and cooperation:
Goal:
The aim has been to develop a toolbox with tools for the organisation and management of the sustainable refurbishment process by a housing company.
A conceptual process model is needed as a basis for identification, analysis, evaluation and improvement of these tools.
Design and construction:

Goal:
To build methodology and tools for the refurbishment process, going from diagnosis phase until operation of the refurbished building, and including among other steps the brief, the design and the construction. The originality will come from the set of sustainable criteria used all through the methodology, representing different kinds of concerns:
              

  1. Sustainable issues: Environmental, Social/Cultural, Economical

  2. Conventional issues: Technical, Architectural

Technical Support system:

Goal:
To create practical and general working models for the selection and evaluation of a technical services system for renovation of the technical systems in residential areas.

Implementation in other countries:

Goal
To bring together housing companies in a Southern EU country and an Eastern European country with experts, designers, contractors, local decis
ion makers and tenant organisations to implement the knowledge from SUREURO.

Level 1
To disseminate the results of SUREURO by organising seminars and work shops. 
Level 2
:
To adapt the different toolboxes taking into account the national context and to assist the adopted partners by implementing these models and tools in a site of demonstration. In each partner country, the different national partners will start a national platform in order to spread in its native language all the results of each national site of demonstration and to highlight the different concrete solutions, which can be directly implemented according to the national legislation.
