About this good practice
In the Abruzzo Region 3 projects (one on the Energy service agreements - EPC, ESC- implemented in a school of the municipality of Pescara; one on the public-private partnership on energy efficiency of clear claps in a real estate of the municipality of Montesilvano; one on the public-private partnership on the swimming pool of Atessa) have been highlighted as good practices within the NEW FINANCE project (Interreg MED).
Effect:
- Establishments of public-private partnership
- Realization of projects for buildings improvement (for example in term of energy efficiency) by public-private partner-ship
- Lower emissions
- reduction of public expenditure of the municipality
- Increased energy security and reduced dependence on foreign imports
- Outreach and awareness
Resources needed
Mainly financial resources
Evidence of success
- Municipality of Pescara: Seven condensing-type FONTECAL heat generators, installed at a cascade of a total power of 590 [kW].
- Municipality of Montesilvano: energy efficiency of clear claps in a real estate (replacement of closure of glasses, removal of existing window frames and replacement with new glass window frames with thermal transmittance lower than the one required by the current regulation);
- Atessa. solar heating for swimming pools and do-mestic hot water.
Potential for learning or transfer
- preliminary investigation to identify the possible improvements at different levels: engineering, building construction, and management;
- different private and public partnership and oppor-tunities, thus sharing of experience, training and co-operation are essential.
