PROJECT TITLE: “Common European Sustainable Building Assessment Alpine Space – Sustainable Territories”
Project duration: 36 months (16.12.2015 – 15.12.2018)
Currently available sustainability assessment tools cover buildings and small urban areas, with no support for the territorial scale, typical in the rural, low density Alpine regions. The project aims to facilitate the development, exchange, and implementation of innovative policies and plans at territorial level based on common assessment tools.
By developing an assessment framework and a label for sustainable and low carbon territories, the project will improve the sustainability and energy performance of the Alpine built environment. Through objective criteria and indicators, the tools will support public organizations, technical organizations and SMEs in the assessment of the sustainability of a territory, the definition of clear and objective performance targets, the decision making in planning processes at territorial level, and the implementation and monitoring of effective low carbon policies, therefore fostering innovative practices at the territorial level among all stakeholders.
Main outputs include:
- a generic transnational assessment framework for assessment at territorial scale,
- a set of harmonized, validated and regionally contextualized assessment tools for territories,
- a guideline for the implementation of assessment tools in low carbon policies and territorial plans,
- a toolbox for the adoption of labels for sustainable and low carbon territories,
- the creation and fostering of Local CESBA Committees,
- the definition of sustainable construction strategies for territories and cities.
The CESBA Alps project will be part of the transnational CESBA initiative, ensuring the long term availability of the technical framework and cooperation network, facilitating adoption and use of the territorial scale tools across Alpine space regions.
