Short report

 


Building the future! Sustainable construction in European mountain municipalities.

Construction and renovation of sustainable public buildings is a team-oriented process and requires audacity. This includes decision makers, architects, craftsmen, and of course the local population.

The film shows how European mountain municipalities from Sweden, across the Pyrenees to the Alps are pioneers in the field of sustainable construction. Good practice examples and inspiring ideas invite to follow!

The film is available in German, Italian, French and Swedish and has been produced by the actors themselves under the framework of the EU project MountEE.


State of the art: results of the first analyze

As a first step of the project, the partners needed to identify financial, technical barriers in their regions, in order to develop the best strategy for sustainable building. They identified the main barriers in their regions and described good examples of strategies, funding and sustainable buildings. Both exercises have been an important step in MountEE project, and the results has been discussed both in an international partner meeting and in local meetings.
