RE-GREEN - project overview
RE-GREEN topic
The 11 key sectors that are in the foundation of the
transition to a Green Economy: agriculture, fishing,
forests and water, energy efficiency and renewable
energy, manufacturing, waste, buildings, tourism and
cities.
[The Green Economy Report, UNEP, 2011]
The renovation rate of buildings is too low. In developed
countries, opportunities for greening the building sector
are mainly in retrofitting existing buildings, which are
becoming a critical area of intervention to reduce energy
demands and the GHG emissions.
[The Green Economy Report, UNEP, 2011]
There is a crucial opportunity in the emerging Green Economy
where the environment, the economy and the social features
can no longer be considered in isolation. The Green Growth
Strategy (OECD, 2010) stresses that the transition to a green
economy will require dedicated policy approaches to foster the
development and diffusion of green growth, and will also open
new opportunities for jobs and skills development.
The building sector is one of the main contributors to the global
greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The greatest energy saving
potential lies in buildings, due to the fact that almost 40% of the
final energy consumption takes place in buildings (houses,
offices, shops, and other buildings).
[Energy Efficiency Plan, EC, 2011]
The key role of public policy and public authorities, taking into
account that public buildings represent about 12% by area of the
EU building stock. The public-owned buildings (schools,
hospitals, social housing units, etc.) are ideal to begin
implementing greener building policies, including green public
procurement.
[The Green Economy Report, UNEP, 2011]
RE-GREEN - project overview
Objectives

To contribute for improving regional development policies oriented to the promotion of green
regions within the new paradigm of the Green Economy, with a special focus on greening the
building sector through the enhancement of energy efficiency and the use of renewable energies.

To promote the exchange of experiences oriented to the identification and transfer of good
practices, methodologies and processes in the development and implementation of new policy
tools of green buildings, aiming at retrofitting existent public sector buildings.

To encourage innovative policy solutions for green buildings, namely green public
procurement, supporting regions in renovate and retrofit public but also private buildings. Public
authorities acting as leading examples in introducing energy efficiency measures in public-owned
buildings.
