Did you know that as many as 35% of buildings in Europe are older than 50 years and 75% of buildings are energy inefficient? Did you also know that buildings are responsible for as much as 36% of all harmful CO2 emissions in European Union?
Did you know that as many as 35% of buildings in Europe are older than 50 years and 75% of buildings are energy inefficient? Did you also know that buildings are responsible for as much as 36% of all harmful CO2 emissions in European Union?
Consequently, with Directive 2010/31 / EU on the energy performance of buildings, the European Union agreed that after 31 December 2020 all new public sector buildings should be nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB). Existing public buildings, which will undergo a complete renovation after 31 December 2020, should also become nZEB buildings.
In pursuit of these goals, we will also begin renovating the building of the Andragogical Institute of the Lifelong Learning University Velenje in 2020. The energy remediation investment will be funded through three sources:
- the resources of the European eCentral project,
- municipal funds and
- contributions collected through crowdfunding.
In the first phase, we will replace the lighting in the building and repair the parts of the building where the energy loss is greatest (partial change of the porches). We will also install a solar power plant on the roof, which will allow the use of electricity from renewable sources. Based on the funds we collect, we will determine the final scope of the investment.
