Case Study (42 Kb PDF)
Summary
The aim of this EU-funded project is to set up regional "virtual" market places (VMP, i.e. through web pages on the internet) for RES and EE within rural areas in the EU. These regional market places will promote the use of RES and EE measures in new construction projects and in the refurbishment of buildings. Based on existing networks, the project proposes to create virtual market places (VMPs) in which suppliers and potential endusers and / or investors come together to exchange experiences, and find solutions for the use of renewable energies and EE measures in their region. Various approaches to create such RES market places were tested in seven model regions located in Austria, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. The project started in January 2005 and finished in September 2007.
Results
On one hand the results of the VMP can be fixed on the number of visitors of the internet plattform. The number of visitors has increased from 84 to 469 in only 7 months.
On the other hand the participants of different events (e.g. excursions, seminars and workshops) can be evaluated:
The main focus of the local Agenda 21 in the region of Steinfurt could be EE in new residential areas. This should be noticed in a better way by decision makers from politics, administrative and associations.
