Promotion of near zero CO2 emission buildings due to energy use

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-12-02

Description

Description (EN):

It is estimated that buildings contribute as much as one third of total European Union greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through the use of fossil fuels and natural gas to cover heating, cooling and electricity needs of buildings. To address energy and climate related issues, the European Commission (EC) has set the objectives of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 %, increasing the share of renewables in the EU's energy mix to 20 % and achieving the 20 % energy efficiency target by 2020. With Directive 2012 / 27 / EU Energy Efficiency produces a breakthrough in European policies. The objectives and tools of intervention and verification oblige member countries to immediately adopt a clear strategy for the improvement of the performances of the buildings. The EU Directive proposes that after 2020 all new buildings must be zero energy buildings and those buildings will also be Near zero CO2 emission buildings due to energy use (NZCO2EB). Although there has been much recent focus on measures to reduce the emissions from new buildings, the existing building stock remains largely untouched and many refurbishment projects miss opportunities to reduce emissions and deliver low CO2 buildings. The concept behind ZEROCO2 project is: - to define near zero CO2 emission buildings due to energy use (NZCO2EB) and present the various benefits which result from this type of building; - to work on the combination of different technologies and energy efficiency sources, which can be used in order to achieve the above-mentioned target; - to design state-of-the art policies, which will aim at promoting NZCO2EB at the local, regional and national level; - to present various financial tools in order to promote these types of buildings. The project partnership consists of bodies which are in the position to implement regional development policies in close cooperation with relevant stakeholders.

Achievements (EN):

In terms of activities, the project has organised a total of 56 policy learning events. It has also identified 27 good practices, produced 7 action plans and led to the increased capacity of 41 people. In terms of results, the project has succeeded in improving 5 regional development policies for a total amount of funds influenced of EUR 8,380,238. 28.

Expected Results (EN):

OVERALL OBJECTIVE: The overall objective of the ZEROCO2 project is to improve regional energy policies with regard to environmental sustainability and mitigation of climate change risk, with a special focus on greening the building sector through enhancement of various eco-friendly energy sources and technologies, stressing its importance as an incubator for new markets in the field of energy, technologies, services and business models. This project will represent and implement NEAR ZERO CO2 EMISSION BUILDINGS DUE TO ENERGY USE in policies addressed at the same level as had been done for NEAR ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS, which means that the buildings do not produce CO2 emissions due their use. EU, national and regional policies do not define near zero CO2 buildings due to energy use. Through interregional cooperation, regions will identify, share and transfer innovative methodologies, technologies, processes and good practices in developing and implementing Near zero CO2 emission buildings due to energy use policies, targeting new constructions or retrofitting existing buildings. This goal comprises an integrated policy framework that combines regulatory instruments, capacity-building, training and information campaigns as well as demonstration projects in the areas of energy efficiency and renewable energies. SUB-OBJECTIVES: The sub-objectives of the project will be: - To define the idea of zero CO2 emission buildings due to energy use and present the various benefits which result from these types of buildings. - To work on the combination of different technologies, which can be used in order to achieve abovementioned target. - To design common state-of-the-art policies, which will aim at promoting ZEROCO2 in local, regional, national and EU level. - To present various financial tools in order to promote these types of buildings.

Expected Outputs (EN):

The main goal is to influence regional and national policy to incorporate Near Zero CO2 Emission Buildings into the Near Zero Energy Buildings. The project will deliver the following outputs : - 3 interregional NZCO2EB events (seminar in Italy, conference in Slovenia, dissemination event in France). - 300 participants at interregional events. - 3 site visits with the stakeholders group, in 3 countries (Italy, Finland and Greece). - 28 thematic meetings with regional stakeholders. Project partners will discuss tools and activities to include in the Action plan. - 14 seminars (2 in each participating region) for regional stakeholders group (especially for policy makers). - 7 workshops to develop the Regional Policy Report. - 7 Regional Policy Report. - 7 action plans prepared with interregional cooperation between partners, stakeholders and policy makers. - 7 regional studies regarding RES in buildings, CO2 emissions by building category, regional policies promoting the use of RES. - 1 Cost-benefit analyse regarding the reduction of CO2 emissions due to energy use in buildings. This will be the main tool in presenting possibilities for transforming buildings into the NZCO2EB. - 1 Common Study which will include Best Practice and Policy and Strategy Suggestions for EU and regional level. - 1 Best Practice Guide to show possibilities to the stakeholders, experts, residents and owners of the houses how to efficiently transform buildings to the NZCO2EB. - Programme web site; used as the main tool for collecting information and dissemination of project results, lessons and progress of the project. - Social media will help the project partners to effectively disseminate project results and to contribute to spreading project ideas and policy activities through the EU member states. - LinkedIn discussion will contribute to the discussion, how to efficiently change the policy regarding NZCO2EB. Communication: - 7 press releases issued at local, regional and national level,14 articles for the regional press. - 2 general leaflet with 5000 copies disseminated to inform business partners, policy makers, events participants and others, about goals, purpose, activities and results. -14 regional leaflets with 1000 copies for each region to provide project info. - 4 newsletters produced (in English) and 28 translated newsletters disseminated (electronically) in order to inform other relevant stakeholders on progress. - 2 dissemination events organised, to advise overall project results high-level political dissemination. - 14 other promotion events for dissemination of the projects results. Outputs-Project Management: - 1 partnership agreement defining responsibilities, activities and funding between the partners. - Strategic communication plan with time plan. This will help lead partner manage partners activities, degree of the project activities implemented and will be easily and plan and implement any corrective action; - 7 Seering Group/partners Meetings.
