Description
The project is needed for the following reasons. First, to address the positive message that the implementation of modern innovative solutions is a way to improve the area’s living conditions. Second, to promote actions aiming at substantially improving buildings and infrastructure. Third, to upgrade the building infrastructure with the goal to reduce energy consumption in the best possible way and encourage the island’s residents to implement similar technologies. Fourth, to familiarize the island’s residents and visitors, especially young people, with sustainable development practices and improve their quality of life. Fifth, to reduce social inequalities, especially after the recent earthquake in the area.
The project aims to reduce the building’s energy footprint and promote innovative Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Saving technologies applicable throughout the Greek islands.
The project consists of the following sub-projects. First, the supply and installation of modern technologies for the energy upgrade of iconic buildings in Samos. Second, the installation of smart measuring devices for monitoring the project results. Third, consulting services for the Municipality’s project monitoring and activities for the promotion of innovation.
The project plans to promote a balanced development framework which will create high added value and prospects for the local economy, familiarizing the area’s residents with sustainable development practices while also improving their quality of life.
The local community is expected to benefit in multiple ways. First, awareness regarding modern green technologies will be raised and good practices of innovative energy technologies and sustainable development will be promoted. Second, the buildings’ comfort conditions will be improved. Third, energy consumption will be reduced to meet the buildings’ operational needs, which will in turn reduce their energy footprint and CO2 emissions.
