The national peer review of the implementation of green financing models, methodologies, and tools took place online on 18 September 2025. The event aimed to present and discuss the MESTRI-CE project outputs and gather valuable input from peers — including project developers, financial institutions, and public stakeholders — to further enhance the tools and methodologies under development.
The session brought together 27 participants, including representatives from the National Energy Agency (ENEA), the State Property Agency (Agenzia del Demanio), regional and public authorities, academia, and the building industry.
Following an overview of financing and support schemes for green and sustainable investments, the MESTRI-CE Green Financing Methodology was introduced. The updated Version 2.0 of the MESTRI-CE Financial and Economic Evaluation Toolbox was presented in detail, highlighting its objectives, functionalities, and outputs. A live demonstration showcased the tool’s features — from input data requirements to the interpretation of financial and economic indicators and the use of sensitivity analysis.
Feedback from participants showed that while most stakeholders are familiar with the EU Taxonomy principles, the MESTRI-CE Green Financing Methodology still represents a new and valuable approach that requires deeper understanding and practical training. To address this, the National Advisory Hub will organise a series of training events to support capacity building in the coming months.
The peer review discussion also focused on recommendations for improving the Evaluation Toolbox, particularly to make it more user-friendly for non-financial experts. Suggestions included providing clear guidelines, references, or default national data — for example, for calculating shadow prices of environmental impacts — to simplify the process and enhance usability.
The next national roundtable session is scheduled to take place in Bolzano, during the KlimaHaus trade fair, where the discussion on innovative financing for sustainable building renovation will continue.
