Opening conference of the Geo Building strategic project
The opening conference of the Geo Building strategic project was held on 10 December in Pécs, Hungary, with the project, the partnership and the planned activities presented to the public and the media.
The speakers included representatives of Pécs University, as the Lead Partner and other partner organisations included in the project, as well as representatives of the Joint Secretariat and experts in the field of sustainable development and geothermal energy.
The project is funded under Priority 2 of the Programme and focuses on energy efficiency measures on public buildings. Through piloting the use of geothermal energy for heating, the renovated buildings will serve as models for sustainable geothermal-based renovation practices in public buildings by demonstrating how integrating geothermal and other RES can modernize existing infrastructure, lower emissions, and reduce operational costs in a replicable and scalable way.
The project will run for four years, ending in August 2029, and is supported by the Programme with 1.7 million EUR ERDF funding.
