Awareness Rising and Investments in Energy Efficiency: Jõhvi and Kingisepp

Closed

The project aim is to contribute to the achievement of higher energy-efficiency in two neighbouring regions: Jõhvi and the whole county of Ida-Virumaa (Estonia) and the district of Kingisepp (Russia). The project is going to address a problem, common for both countries, having lots of social establishments, such as kindergartens and schools, situated in the buildings with poor energy-efficiency below nowadays standards. This problem gets highly urgent nowadays when prices of energy are constantly rising. The vast majority of these buildings have been erected more than 20 years ago according to the old standards when low prices of energy did not force to use sparing/economic solutions, not to mention unstable quality of building materials and construction works.During the project a set of awareness rising actions will be organized (info-days, seminars, study-trips) for the municipal specialists and other people related with kindergartens – staff and parents. Public bodies running the social objects will see and experience the most cost-effective and acknowledged ways how to reconstruct their premises and how to use them in the most efficient way.
