PSGHCERB

Chances are that your home is wasting about a third of the energy it consumes. Nearly three-quarters of residential buildings in the EU are energy inefficient. To reverse this trend, experts point to the use of shallow geothermal energy – a promising low-carbon solution to provide heating/cooling and save energy. However, uptake is low. The sector is stuck in a rut of small-scale and low renovation due to high investment costs and building owners’ lack of cooperation.
