CLI-MA – From Housing Manager to Climate Manager

Providing climate management trainings to building managers in order to reduce GHG emissions of residential buildings in Poland and Latvia.

Background

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.

Project

Building managers play a crucial role in organizing refurbishment processes and fundraising. Therefore, the project addresses the building managers by providing standardised training curricula based on German experience. The training focuses 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 prepare the training materials. The project organises 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 are organised. The project concludes with a final public event in Germany as part of the annual Deutscher Verwaltertag.
