Financing energy retrofits in public and residential buildings: two new guidebooks released.
Three innovative financing schemes that have been tested by 11 European cities and regions
About
Ensuring proper energy renovation of the EU’s building stock is crucial to achieve our energy transition. However, austerity and cuts in public budgets limit the action of local authorities. So a number of Energy Cities members have been testing 3 innovative financing schemes… and it works!
After three years of hard work in the framework of the Infinite Solutions project, the 11 partners are willing to share their experience. They are providing guidance to other local and regional authorities and stakeholders for setting up financing schemes to save energy in buildings through two guidebooks.
Enjoy the reading!
