REBUS brought together 8 partners from 8 countries, who share the same need for improvements in policy to promote energy efficiency in public buildings.
The overall objective was to improve the capacity of public authorities in European regions, to undertake efficient renovation works of their public building stock, thus saving energy and public resources. REBUS supported local authorities in designing an Energy Renovation Path (ERP) for planning, implementing and monitoring renovation works in public buildings, which included providing reliable information, skills and effective decision-making structures for prioritising buildings to be renovated. The REBUS ERP, developed on the base of an interregional exchange, also helps public authorities to improve the following aspects of their energy policy content and management:
- Raise awareness on potential savings & efficient use of resources
- Collect feedback and streamline data on energy efficiency needs in the public buildings
- Draft tenders for renovation works that include energy efficiency baselines, targets and monitoring measures
- Manage the buildings in a more efficient way after renovation.
