REPLACE

Heating and cooling consume half of the EU's energy and much of it is wasted. For instance, almost half of Europe’s buildings have individual boilers installed before 1992, with an efficiency of 60 % or less. Encouraging consumers to replace old heating and cooling units with more efficient, greener alternatives is top priority for a decarbonised Energy Union. The EU-funded REPLACE project aims to boost efforts with replacement campaigns in 10 target regions. It will also unite policymakers and intermediaries such as chimney sweepers and installers who are in direct contact with consumers, to develop common activities with maximum impact. The project aims to raise awareness of the benefits of heating and cooling replacements by highlighting success stories.
