Objective

To use of renewable energy sources.

Description

Implementation of solar, wind, biomass/biogas, hydro systems.

Expected results

Use of renewable energy sources. Response to the expected higher demand for cooling of buildings in summer and limitation in the use of air conditioning systems based on fossil energy; greenhouse gas emission reduction; reduction of dependency on fossil or nuclear energy sources like gas, oil, coal or uranium.

Result indicators

Energy production from renewable sources [J]

Involved actors

Municipality, renewable energy specialist, builders, buyers.
