Engaging local community in public buildings energy efficiency improvement and sustainable mobility

ENERGY CARE project is part of the Interreg V-A Italy-Slovenia 2014-2020.
The overall objective of the project is the reduction of the CO2 emissions, the energy consumption and the energy poverty within the Programme area, with a focus on the areas of City of Trieste, Koper and San Donà di Piave Municipalities.

During the implementation, participatory, innovative, integrated and cross-border strategies of energy efficiency improvement in public buildings and multimodal sustainable mobility in urban and peripheral areas will be designed, developed and replicated. Thanks to these strategies and actions, positive results will be pursued on cohesion, livability, social inclusion, governance and energy management by municipalities and other public bodies.

Three main investments will be implemented during the ENERGY CARE project:
– reduction of energy consumption reduction inside the common areas ofin San Giovanni Bosco’s social housing buildings (Ponziana) in Trieste;
– improvement of the energy performances of a kindergarten and a nursery school in Koper;
– the building of a a cycle path in San Donà di Piave. The cycle path will connect the city center with the War Memorial Retirement Home, the provincial pole of high school and the secondary school I. Nievo.
Moreover, the project partners will work to develop a cross-border plan promoting participated spatial planning and social innovation. The plan will aim at reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainable and smart multimodal mobility. All the actions of the cross-border plan will be based on the outcomes of PAES / LEK.
