Buildings are responsible for 40 percent of GHG emissions in the EU. This is due largely to the big number of old buildings that do not meet energy efficiency standards. To achieve the goal set by the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the renovation rate must be increased considerably. Yet, available financial support from domestic and EU sources is not fully tapped by building owners in Poland and in Latvia.

Building managers play a crucial role in organizing refurbishment processes and fundraising. Therefore, the project addressed the building managers by providing standardized training curricula based on German experience. The training focused on preparation, financing and implementation of climate change mitigating measures related to energy and water use in residential multi-family buildings and their surroundings. Polish and Latvian experts prepared the training materials. The project organized pilot trainings for 20 candidates per country. To guarantee the widespread sharing of the project results, various media activities, national workshops, and an international workshop during the annual 62nd International Scientific Conference at Riga Technical University were organized. The project concluded with a final public event in Germany as part of the annual Deutscher Verwaltertag.
