Businesses / Eco upgrading

EcoUpgrading is the refurbishing of an existing urban unit, integrating sustainable building and utility technology for improving the energy and resource efficiency and for reduced environmental impacts. The main objective is to introduce sustainable solutions, while not jeopardizing the satisfaction of the citizens neither during the construction phase, nor when the project is finished.

Reducing the energy demand is the starting point of eco-upgrading, typically buildings and energy systems are refurbished. The environmental impacts from the waste and water management sectors can be reduced by introducing new waste, water and sludge management and treatment alternatives. Transport systems should also be upgraded in order to increase extended walkability and public transport, while reducing the need for private cars.
