Project summary

More than 1,5 mio. residents lives in 24.000 residential homes for elderly people (RCHEP) joined under European Association of Directors of Residential Care Homes for the Elderly People (E.D.E.) Association. Energy efficiency in most of homes is on very low level because of management unawareness of energy efficiency benefits and because of lack of knowledge and organization in residential homes. Moreover RCHEP does not fully recognize benefits of energy efficiency nor can they afford employment of experts with specific technical skills.

Sector is specific also because of financial limitations since every investment lays as burden of elderly people and their relatives paying bills for hospitality. Inevitable ageing of European population will contribute to worsening of the situation in future. Since employees and managers of RCHEP are mainly social care professionals, they lack knowledge on energy efficiency and in many cases also foreign language skills and in some cases even computer literacy. Because of mentioned background, first step has to be done with changing RCHEM managers’ attitude towards more energy efficiency.

Project was built upon analysis of current situation, searching of technical, behavioural, knowledge and financial obstacles in the way of energy efficiency in RCHEP. Secondly, project was used already established network of 24.000 homes under E.D.E. association to present and oblige RCHEP to implement energy efficiency strategy and action plan with aim to stimulate investment and non-investment measures leading to energy efficiency.
