A triple-layered one-stop-shop business model canvas for sustainable house renovations

Abstract

Triple Layer Business Model Canvas (TLBMC) is a tool helping us to explore sustainability-oriented business model innovation. It extends the business dimension of the canvas with the addition of an environmental dimension based on life cycle perspective and a social dimension based on stakeholder perspective. A combined consideration of the three dimensions of the business model allows us to understand how an organization generates economic, environmental and social values. This paper presents the TLBMC of One-Stop- Shop (OSS) business model for energy renovation of detached houses. This three-layer canvas allows us to under- stand how OSS creates different types of values related to energy renovation, by using elements of life-cycle analysis and stakeholder management. It also contributes to the identification of gaps in research on energy renovation of detached houses, which need to be filled in order to better quantify the benefits of energy efficient renovation in those dwellings and develop such an OSS that will serve better the growing needs of the urban environments of the future.

From Waste to Product: Circular Economy Applications from Sea Urchin

“…This model provides "horizontal" coherence within each canvas to explore the economic, environmental and social values that emerge from the key actions and relationships established by the nine components of each layer [76]. However, there is also a "vertical" coherence that integrates the value creation across the three levels [81]. According to Joyce and Paquin (2016) this logic "supports exploring the alignment of actions and interconnections across the different types of value" [76].…”

“…Regarding the vertical logic, starting from the social framework, the alignment of an item of each canvas crosses the corresponding component of the next layer. This approach highlights an alignment of the actions and possible interconnections between the three canvases [81].…”

“…Moreover, according to Pardalis et al (2020) the functional value "describes what a product or service offers in terms of physical quantities". The difference between a LCA's functional unit and the functional value is based on the different usage [81]. For example, the functional unit of a sea urchin industry is equivalent to 55 g corresponding to the product contained in a single jar of sea urchin pulp, while the functional value is the total of this content multiplied by the number of customers who have consumed this product over a certain period of time, such as one year.…”

Business Model Development for Temporary Home Renovation Consultancy Centres: Experiences from European Pop-Ups

“…Non-academic partners can get benefits by adopting a research protocol [32]. Many researchers have suggested using business model approaches for developing home renovation consultancy or one-stop shops [8,[33][34][35]. The studies are often focused on supply sides or private parties, or the results stay at the academic level.…”

“…To encourage the adoption of home energy renovations, policy actors at the national, regional, and local levels have developed policies and policy instruments. This has resulted in many examples and theoretical studies-for example, [8][9][10][11].…”
