This week will focus on CLEAN project partner Fomento de San Sebastian (Spain). Iker Martinez from Fomento San Sebastian (Spain) showed on the one hand, the impact of Covid-19 in energy consumption in the Basque Country and San Sebastian, and on the other hand, policy instruments and measures that are taking place in the Basque Country and San Sebastian through the “Klima 2050” in the context of COVID-19 with specific objectives in energy efficiency in buildings:
- Energy Strategy 2030 in the Basque Country: L3. Reduction of energy consumption and increase of renewable installations in buildings
- Energy Efficiency Directive in Buildings - San Sebastian (2021): promote energy efficiency, insulation and renewable installations in building.
Ongoing projects to improve energy efficiency in buildings and change citizens behaviour are in place through the SmartHomes Project.
