The ENERinTOWN project addresses the need which has been detected to establish greater control over energy consumption in municipally-owned buildings, by providing a solution which will enable the two existing barriers to be eliminated: lack of detailed knowledge on consumption figures and lack of qualified local personnel with the capacity to propose improvement actions.

This project will centre exclusively on public buildings, and will act as a pilot project where any possible errors can be identified and ironed out. The project will be carried out in close relationship with municipal authorities throughout Europe interested in better energy management of their properties and consumption centres. The project will cover a large number of buildings with different uses, through a single interlocutor - i.e. the owner, the town council.

The main objective of the project is to reduce energy consumption in municipal public buildings through continuous monitoring over the Internet, introduction of low-cost measures and establishment of minimum standards to be met by new amenities and buildings.
