With the support of the European Commission’s "Intelligent Energy - Europe" programme, POWER HOUSE EUROPE is accelerating the empowerment of residents and up-skilling of professionals working to reduce the carbon footprint of the social housing sector. This is being done by drawing on the existing European pool of know-how and resources and facilitating the exchange of success stories and lessons learned.
POWER HOUSE EUROPE is a gateway to:
- Resources for social and cooperative housing professionals to support the development of their energy efficiency strategies;
- An on-line forum for information and knowledge exchange between professionals in the social housing sector;
- Information on strategies, legal, institutional and financial measures which have proved successful around the EU and the CECODHAS-Housing Europe Energy Policy work;
- Examples of both retrofitting of older properties and low energy new construction, effective partnerships with residents, ICT applications for empowering residents and more;
- Updates on development and policy discussions on EU legislation related to energy efficiency and renewables in housing;
- Updates on EU project funding and structural funds;
- Partnerships between local social and cooperative housing providers;
- POWER HOUSE National/Regional platforms which gather enablers of the energy transition from all sectors to work in partnership.
