Project

The project Educa-RUE – Energy efficiency paths in educational buildings co-financed in the framework of the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme aims at improving energy performance in the building sector at local level and with particular attention to educational building, by promoting the ability of local players to guide and orient initiatives designed to encourage energy saving by means of specific measures and integrated tools.The use of planning and programming tools, as well as reward and support schemes, will be harmonized via a process of cooperation and coordination involving local government players.

Objectives
A specific aim of the project is to speed up the implementation of the European Directive on Energy Efficiency in Buildings (2002/91/ EC) in Member States at local government level and to ensure its operability within the various national legislations of reference. This objective will be fulfilled by :
  • establishing minimum energy performance requirements for municipal (mainly educational) building regulations and local legislation and apply them to an identified sample of educational buildings;
  • ensuring the qualification of technicians operating in the building sector with regard to energy related issues;
  • improving the effectiveness (integration and rationalization) of financial and other tools currently used as incentives by studying and approving possible modifications of existing procedures;
  • raising awareness of all the stakeholders of educational buildings such as teachers, students and their family members regarding energy efficiency.  
 
Expected results
The direct results of the project will include the development of a complete process, starting from the implementation of a reference procedure for supporting and managing energy efficiency in educational buildings, the testing of an integrated set of support tools and incentives, the development and implementation of pilot training courses designed to qualify and update professional figures operating in the building and energy sectors and to transfer this acquired knowledge to the educational sector’s recipients (teachers and students) involved as potentially energy aware users able to disseminate knowledge to the wider society. Throughout the project existing models for advancing energy efficiency within public educational buildings will be evaluated and where suitable opportunities arise these will also be deployed. Finally the project’s activities will take into account the crucial propulsive role that the adoption of the developed model by the public sector will have upon the areas involved in regards to encouraging the fulfillment of energy efficiency objectives and starting off a domino effect that promotes virtuous behaviour and energy consumption habits.
