Initiative started to intensify exchange among BSR-projects dealing with sustainability

The representatives of the five projects BaltCICA, Longlife, PEA, SPIN and Urb.Energy signed on 11 August 2010 a Memorandum of Understanding about an enhanced future cooperation. Objective of the intensified exchange among these projects is to inform each other about the proceedings and the results of the projects and to use possible synergies for a mutual benefit. In the frame of the Baltic Sea Region Programme 2007-2013 the five projects are dealing with strategies for a sustainable development with a special focus on energy and resource saving issues in consideration of the climate change.
As a first step of the cooperation the project Longlife invited the other projects to present their current work at the international conference of Longlife that took place in St.Petersburg on 24 June 2010. Based on this first activity the lead partner of the five projects will identify in the coming months intersections between the thematic works of the projects and assess the possibility of a further capitalization of results.
In order to introduce the five cooperating projects to the Urb.Energy partners we would like to use the opportunity of the present newsletter and give you a short overview about the focal point of the projects’ work and contact data.

Longlife

Sustainable, energy efficient and resource saving residential buildings with consideration of unified procedures and new and adapted technologies
Focus of the project:
Longlife optimizes methods for buildings and construction, adapt and implement new technologies and harmonize building procedures. These will lead to reduction of the energy consumption and minimize the operational costs during the building’s lifecycle.
