Invitation to the EURONET 50/50 MAX final conference in Brussels
- Wednesday, 02 March 2016
All institutions interested in the topic of encouraging energy savings in schools and other public buildings are invited to take part in the final conference of the EURONET 50/50 MAX project, which will take place in Brussels (Belgium) on the 16th of March 2016. Our project has come to an end and we have many interesting things to share with those who would like to implement the 50/50 energy-saving concept in their own buildings or help us promote this innovative methodology among local authorities all over Europe.
The EURONET 50/50 MAX project aims at mobilizing energy savings in public buildings through the implementation of the 50/50 methodology in 500 schools and nearly 50 other public buildings from 13 EU countries. The 9-step methodology increases energy awareness of the building users and actively involves them in energy–saving actions. Achieved financial savings are shared equally between the building users and the local authority which covers the energy bills. More information about the project may be found at: http://www.euronet50-50max.eu
Webinar on municipal integrated actions involving citizens
- Monday, 29 February 2016
We are glad to invite you to the webinar on municipal integrated actions involving citizens in energy saving and energy production from RES. The webinar will take place on the 3rd of March 2016, from 11:00-12:30 CET, and is organised within the Mayors in Action project supporting European cities in implementation of their Sustainable Energy Action Plans.
