HANDIHEAT will focus on energy performance in rural housing and public infrastructure challenges in peripheral and arctic regions. It will support the development of jobs and renewable energy business opportunities provided by extreme conditions in rural communities. The overall objective will be to develop a set of resources; implementation toolkits, decision making guides and a roadmap for the rural community housing sector. Pilots will provide visible proof and an enduring guide to what can be achieved. Challenges including a lack of critical mass, widely dispersed settlements, poor accessibility and vulnerability to climate change effects are all well recognised. HANDIHEAT will equip stakeholders in the communities with the skills and confidence to overcome these challenges. Identification of energy resources and knowledge of innovative solutions in other regions will stimulate renewable energy and attract investment. We will review both policy and non-policy drivers in each NPA jurisdiction. Policy drivers many contain gaps which may be addressed by non-policy driven practices from across the NPA region. The viability of these will be assessed. Any gaps or barriers will be addressed through a robust community engagement and communications plan including lobbying activities. The project focuses on energy networks for rural communities such as housing, both social and private, which are subject to fuel inequity/poverty and reliant on imported fossil fuels for energy. The development of community energy systems will increase the vitality of rural businesses and lead to a reduction in fuel inequity for those identified as vulnerable. It is aimed at identified opportunities for example to identify anaerobic digestion feedstocks and other underutilised local energy resources. Sustainable solutions will protect rural communities from energy price fluctuations and improve the social wellbeing and quality of living throughout NPA regions. (English)
