Open Workshops – Energy Rehabilitation of Sports Centres

FINAL programa JORNADES STEPSPORT-1In Europe, there are over a million and a half sports facilities, number which represents approximately 8% of the buildings. Most of them were built before 1980 without considering energy efficiency criteria, so it is necessary to promote energy renovation of these buildings. According to studies conducted in the UK, sports facilities account for about 10% of annual energy consumption in the buildings sector.

 

The project is organising a two-day workshop open to the public in Barcelona. Click here to download the flyer of the event.
