"Sustainable Energy and Social Housing" - 21&22 April 2008, Ancona, Italy

Hot Topics: Knowledge and Support

The aim of the conference is to deepen the debate on two aspects related to the issue of energy efficiency in the European Union: on the one hand, the energy needs, climate change, EU policies promoting energy saving and the use of renewables, and, on the other hand, the impact of the market liberalization process on both production and distribution to end-users.

The social housing sector, indeed, represents the crossing point between these two issues. The sector must respond to the needs of the weakest who are unable to pay the increasingly high cost of heating and cooling, as well as contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and the overall sustainability of the building sector.

The contribution that the social housing sector can make, representing more than 20 million housing units throughout the EU, is significant, particularly considering the momentum that can generate in terms of demonstration and dissemination of new technologies in the private sector. The resources needed for the upgrading of the existing stock are equally large, considering that at least 60% of the stock itself is in need of refurbishment.
