Results
The SERVE project was concluded successfully and resulted in significant energy savings and increased renewable energy production in the region. The project also saw new technologies and system demonstrated. Some specific results include:
- Piloting of a BER system and 200 energy assessors trained
- 8,000 m2 of dwelling constructed with energy performance 50% better than standard build
- A national retrofit programme and grant support scheme put in place, with many similarities to SERVE structures
- SERVE standards adopted by National Energy Agency as part of its energy assessment methodology
- 200 construction workers trained on quality standards
- Over 100 buildings and contractors audited
- 2 biomass district heating systems installed with on-going discussions for expansion
- 1.5MW of biomass heating put in place
