"POWER HOUSE Workshop for housing associations" - 6-7 August 2010, Olustvere, Estonia

Hot Topics: Knowledge and Support

On August 6-7 2010 in Central Estonia, Olustvere, the 4th summer university of Estonian housing associations was held. The organizer of the summer university was the Estonian Union of Cooperative Housing Associations. The range of the subjects handled at the lectures of the university was very wide, including as the psychological side of the work of the managers of the apartment associations as technical aspects of the renovation. Important part of this summer university consisted of the subjects related to energy saving.

In addition to the lectures several workshops took place in the university and part of them were devoted to the introduction of the project Power House Europe and sharing the practical experience of Estonian apartment associations on energy saving.

At the workshop the Coordinator of the Power House Estonia platform Anu Sarnet introduced the web portal powerhouseeurope.eu and explained what kind of information managers of the apartment association could find and how to share information there.

Managers of the apartment associations from the two biggest cities of Estonia Tallinn and Tartu introduced the experience of their own associations on the energy saving renovation of the apartment buildings. The most energy saving methods in the apartment buildings as well as the arrangements of the financing of the renovation was also discussed. Especially was emphasized that for achieving energy saving the renovation should be executed as complex and for that should be used favourable loan opportunities offered for the apartment associations in Estonia, if necessary.

Participants of the workshop agreed that pooling of practical experience is also necessary in the future as there is quite much to learn from each others’ experience.
