The Municipality as Constructor: Towards carbon neutral buildings

From: 19.09.2013 to: 19.09.2013

One key to solving the climate problem can be found in the building sector: private households in the Alps are responsible for over one third of final energy consumption.

Significantly reducing CO2 emissions and improving the quality of life must therefore be achieved through energy-efficient restoration with the use of ecological materials. 

The focus of this workshop organized by CIPRA International on 19 September  in Gap, France, is on the municipalities as clients for construction projects. How should they build? Where are the greatest challenges? How can a municipality persuade its residents of the need for energy-efficient restoration and building works?

Some of the answers are provided by the “Alpine Towns of the Year” of Bozen/Bolzano in Italy and Sonthofen in Germany. 

Deadline for registration is 8 September.
