SPIN-Energy Efficiency & Urban Development Planning
Summary
Historical buildings, of which there are many in Ukraine and the Russian Federation, pose a particular challenge given constraints to renovation work that make it difficult to increase their energy performance. SPINE aims at facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and energy efficient (EE) technologies and materials into the renovation of historical buildings with an eye to the various issues and constraints linked to the preservation of authenticity and artefacts in buildings. This shall be achieved by collecting and developing successful processes, policiestechnical measures and tools aimed at the improved energy performance of historic buildings and districts. The object is to ensure that the interventions are contained in terms of costs, and that appropriate planning and authorisation procedures are put in place. In a period of shrinking public budgets, replicable and efficient solutions should be shared among stakeholders of all the countries involved. Appropriate policies and a process favouring energy efficient rehabilitation of historic buildings will be put in place as a result of the project.
