- Primary Energy Savings: 311.739 kWh (33%, 65% and 11%)
- CO2 Savings: 85,5 tons/pear
- (Three municipal buildings)
Southern European countries undergo a severe economic crisis. This hinders the compliance to the latest Energy Efficiency Directive, demanding strict energy efficiency measures for the public sector. Investments required to renovate public buildings and achieve nearly zero energy consumption have long payback times, so the interest of financing entities and ESCOs is smal. Many of the municipal buildings in Southern Europe require deep renovations to become nZEB and this should not be regarded as a threat but rather as an opportunity for the energy service and the financing sector.The objective of the proposed action is to help stakeholders gain confidence in such investments and initiate the growth of this energy service sector. The partners will adapt existing energy service models and procedures and will work out financing schemes suitable for twelve buildings in four municipalities in each country, expecting that deep renovations will yield 75% to 80% energy performance improvement.
