Abruzzo, Italy
Renewable Energy Supply to a “Green Region”
 |
A project for renovating two buildings from the 1970’s in the town of
Avezzano is a part of the “Abruzzo Green Region of Europe” scheme. The IACP
Housing Association explains that rational use of energy and integration of
renewable energy supply can be an inspiration to continue renovating many of
IACP’s 8,000 apartments and further on give guidelines for renewal among the
total of 28,000 apartments in the mountain area in the Abruzzo Region. The
retrofit project involves 54 apartments in two buildings, which are typical for
old social buildings in small towns of the region and represents in many ways a
characteristic example of straightforward use of low energy technologies. The
project is a combination of both renewable energy utilisation and traditional
maintenance interventions in order to obtain energy savings with low costs.
The Abruzzo project has incorporated various low energy technologies such as
solar energy, comprehensive insulation, and energy efficient glazing. However,
it is the highly efficient integrated heating system with both solar collectors
and condensing gas boilers, and the energy management system that stand out as
the most innovative solutions in the project.
