A considerable amount of the energy used in Europe is spent on keeping a comfortable indoor climate in buildings. At the same time the design of buildings does not include an energy conscious design strategy.

The aim of the project is to improve 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, so speeding up the implementation of the European Directive on Energy Efficiency in Buildings (2002/90/EC) in Member States at Local government level and to ensure its operability within the various national legislations of reference.

 

Through a number of closely interconnected actions the project will develop a model process of intervention on educational building which are property of the Provinces participating to this initiative. The process will be tested and proved in its effectiveness and its findings can be extended to other building typologies in order to create a reference model for local planners and responsibles.
