Description: The ambition of the CASH project is to propose new solutions and promote new policies for the sustainable renovation of social and affordable housing units in the European Union. The network will make an extensive, documented study in each partner city. It will set up local action plans in each city and pilot model experiments in the volunteer partner cities. The final output of CASH will be a practical guide dedicated to the European cities and all professionals associated with the house building industry, to the benefit of European citizens.

TrIsCo - Transition Island Communities: Empowering Localities to Act
Project timeline: July 2009 - September 2011
Programme: Interreg IVC
Website: www.environmentcentre.com/trisco
Description: TrIsCo project aims to enable different ‘islands’ of communities (households, businesses and public bodies) to reduce their energy demand and CO2 emissions by changing their behaviour towards their use of resources and by overcoming barriers to implementing low carbon communities. Central to TrIsCo’s impact will be the exchange of good practice, training seminars, experience and expertise by multi-disciplinary teams across cross-border regions.
