Energy Efficiency Communities – Establishing pilot communities for the building sector (EffCoBuild)

Results

The expected results refer to the stakeholders in the community and the citizens getting aware that:

• the energy efficiency measures in the building sector are an important step toward a sustainable energy supply
• a large number of measures and actions can be set by the community actors themselves
• energy efficiency measures provide a positive impulse for the regional economic development and employment situation by the added value kept in the region

The community will receive a detailed analysis of the energy saving potentials for its buildings, a concept of measures for enhanced exploitation of the potentials, a “best of” brochure with examples from the own region and examples from “abroad”. Also, a pilot project will be implemented in each community. This will launch the implementation of the concept of measures as well as the development towards an energy efficiency region in the building sector.

The pilot communities serve as a role model for the surrounding regions as well as for communities in other European countries.
