The e-Lighthouse project will tackle the growing problem of global warming and increasing emissions by bringing added value to the Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) of the partner towns and regions. Project actions will support increased energy efficiency in buildings (40% of EU energy consumption) and increase the uptake of renewable energy, thus decreasing carbon dioxide emissions. Ambitious SEAP targets set by partner regions can only be achieved by increased energy efficiency of buildings, modern public lighting and add efficient recycling of waste. Enhancing energy efficiency of buildings will be done by retrofitting public buildings and influencing the decision-making of both retrofitting of residential buildings and new houses. Further, e-Lighthouse will raise awareness of energy efficiency and encourage most stakeholders in the regions to use best practises gathered. With a consortium of 6 NPA regions and 10 project partners, our goal is to support and follow-up the retrofit of more than 250 public buildings. In the private sector with the consultation of building supervisory authorities, the project aims to influence the decision makers (of energy efficiency) of 2500 domestic retrofits and 2000 new residential houses. There will also be consideration given to waste to energy streams. Improved local and regional monitoring methodologies and practices would greatly enhance the effectiveness of the SEAP already developed. The e-Lighthouse project will tackle this problem by providing guidelines and tools to reliably and efficiently calculate those important figures annually. By showing good examples of good codes-of-conduct such as municipality citizenship, e-Lighthouse partners will encourage other local and regional organizations to sign the new joint Covenant of Mayors, to commit to energy saving at the political decision-making level.
