How to finance energy efficiency

BSHF is one of the partners in the Powerhouse nearly Zero Energy Challenge, a three-year project funded by the EU’s Intelligent Energy Programme.

The project aims to build capacity and confidence amongst Europe’s social, cooperative and public housing providers ahead of the nearly-Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) obligations to be introduced in 2020.

This report highlights the discussions and outcomes from a workshop and study visit held in Italy in June 2013 as part of the Power House nearly Zero Energy Challenge.  The workshop focused on the financial schemes in place to support energy efficiency and their implications for divided ownership and housing cooperatives in Italy.
