Closure Event, Reehub Project

On 11 SEPTEMBER 2020 was organized the Closure Event of Reehub Project – Presentation and perspectives of the Regional Energy Efficiency Hubs.
This event was organized by ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) along with the University of Montenegro under the project REEHUB, co-financed by transfrontier Project Interreg IPA CBC Italy – Albania – Montenegro Interreg IPA CBC Italy – Albania – Montenegro, and by the support of and the patronage of the First Italian Zero Energy Building Network (Network Edifici a Consumo Zero) – Friday 11th of September 2020 (11.00-13.00).
Energy Efficiency has been described as the EU’s biggest energy resource and one of the most cost effective ways to enhance the security of its energy supply and decrease the emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Under the framework of the INTERREG IPA CBC Italy–Albania–Montenegro programme an important project, starting in 2018 year, is going out: R.E.E.HUB – Regional Energy Efficiency HUB.
The main objectives of REEHUB is to create a network of Hubs, located in public buildings in each region involved, where it will be possible to organize capacity building actions (main outputs) and collect educational and training materials for energy efficiency audit in the building sector. The second objective is to implement a methodology of audit, according to EU standard (EN 16247-1 and 2), fitted to building renovation that pave the way for new energy efficient solutions.
Each HUB will become, connecting experience with similar Mediterranean regions, an “agora” where local policy maker of Italian and Balkan coasts can have open dialogue with citizen, building material industry, designer and green SMEs for the implementation of local energy plan. Best practises will be available to demonstrate the advantages of the audit methodology proposed and how it fits to EU rules.
REEHUB has created a public venue where all stakeholders (from school to policy maker and to consumers and SMEs) can find tangible examples on how citizens can contribute to a sustainable growth aligned to circular economy principles.
