Congress and support actions on the rational use of energy and renewables in municipalities: Energy and sustainable cities. Towards a healthier urban environment - IDAE, Spain
Summary
The IDAE has carried out, in the framework of the OPET contract for the period July 2001 to June 2002, a set of actions aimed at the deployment of energy technologies within the Spanish territory and at the increase of co-operation with other countries, notably in Latin America and Portugal, where strong links exist.
The actions have paid special attention to the issues that are under debate in Europe, namely the Green Paper on the security of energy supply, the proposal for Directives for the energy performance of buildings, the promotion of biomass and biofuels, etc.
A local action consisted of the organization of a congress on the rational use of energy and renewable energies in municipalities, which took place in Madrid on 11-12 June 2002. This was an opportunity to explain the implications of the new directive for the energy performance of buildings and was attended by more than 250 people.
This case study is one of 31 Good Practice Case Studies published by the OPET Network in 2005
