Residential Renovation towards nearly zero energy CITIES

EU-GUGLE, European cities serving as Green Urban Gate towards Leadership in sustainable Energy

The EU-GUGLE project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of nearly-zero energy building renovation models in view of triggering large-scale, Europe-wide replication in smart cities and communities by 2020.

Taking on the challenge of sustainable renovation in urban areas, the cities of Vienna (AT), Aachen (DE), Milan (IT), Sestao (ES), Tampere (FI) and Bratislava (SK) have committed to renovating a total of 226,000m² of living space during the 5 years of the project, with the objective of achieving 40 to 80% primary energy savings per pilot district while increasing the share of renewable energy sources by 25% by 2018. Gothenburg (SE) and Gaziantep (TR) will take part in the 5-year project as associated cities and will be expected to start smart renovation activities during project’s lifetime.

To reach this objective, the 8 pilot cities will join efforts to combine the latest research results relevant to smart renovation of groups of buildings at district level and use this knowledge to implement a balanced mix of technical, socio-economic and financial solutions adapted to local needs. All aspects of the renovation process will be monitored and evaluated, from the energy performance of the renovated buildings to the financing schemes chosen by the municipalities. The main expected output will be the integration of the results into comprehensive ‘smart renovation strategies’ that will be easily transposable to other municipalities.

EU-GUGLE is funded under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Innovation. It is coordinated by CENER, Spain’s National Centre for Renewable Energies.
