NIRSEPES

There are currently over 2.5 million units of social housing in the EU (more with new Member States), which is responsible for around 18% of the total final energy consumption of the European Union. Main part of this housing is already over 25 years old and needs renovation.
The general objective of the NIRSEPES project is to develop an integrated strategy for the energy renovation of social housing in the European Union, at a local/regional level, to increase the energy and specifically the thermal efficiency of this by at least 30%.
NIRSEPES project will achieve the objectives by:

• Performing a complete analysis of Social Housing models in 4 European regions (Navarra, Pefki, Sardegna and North Rhine - Westphalia) and searching existing technical solutions for energetic retrofitting
• Establishing 4 local forums for participation of all relevant stakeholders at local/regional level
• Designing tailored financing schemes and developing social measures of awareness building, education and training

Methodology will be validated in 8 buildings through 8 pilot restoration plans.
