ESAM

More than 120 millions of inhabitants all over Europe live in 35 million units of the social housing stock. This represents around 18% of the total final energy consumption in the EU today.

The improvement of energy performance in social housing can only be achieved through progressive retrofitting of the social housing stock. This requires social housing operators (SHO’s), who own and/or manage the buildings, to integrate and plan the reduction of energy consumptions in the long-term strategic management of their housing stocks.

The ESAM proposal, set up and led by a consortium of SHO’s from 6 countries, aims at developing methodologies and tools which will help SHO’s in the definition of their long-term energy strategies, in the implementation of energy efficient retrofitting project and adapted co-operation with stakeholders (occupiers, public authorities, heating suppliers).

The results of the project will contribute to building competence and knowledge on energy efficient retrofitting among European SHO’s.
