A complete retrofitting based on façade improvements, ICTs and renewable energy systems will be implemented in the Cuatro de Marzo district, the demo site chosen for the R2CITIES project.
The EU project on smart districts has unveiled its energy saving achievements after its renovation works in three residential areas
R2CITIES Best Practices Book is available for download.
The building sector is the largest energy-consuming sector in Europe. As retrofitting works are often unaffordable for people who own apartments in old blocks, the EU has had to step in
