SHERPA (SHared knowledge for Energy Renovation in buildings by Public Administrations) is a Testing and Capitalising EU project financed by the Interreg Med Programme under Specific Objective 2.1 (efficient buildings). It contributes to the implementation of the EU Directives on Energy Performance in Buildings (2010/31/EU) and Energy Efficiency (2012/27/UE) among other EU directives and connected policies, and aims to reach the 20% energy efficiency EU target by 2020.
One of the key objectives of the project is to set up 200 project proposals for Energy Renovation in Public Buildings. 100 energy renovation proposals, to be identified according to specific selection criteria, will be carried out on public buildings in the Mediterranean regions involved in the project. Another 100 proposals will be selected in the municipalities of these regions. All these projects will be implemented according to specific findings, guidelines, tools and strategies. They will be associated with public-private investments worth around 300 million euros and producing thousands of new jobs.
SHERPA gathers 12 partners, including 9 regional authorities, as well as 12 associated partners, including 8 local and regional authorities, as described in the ‘Who we are’ (cross-reference) section.
SHERPA builds on the experience gained over years with former European projects developed in the previous programming period, namely MARIE, ELIH-MED and PROFORBIOMED, including the related documents and political outputs, such as the Ljubljana Declaration and the Policy Paper ‘Responding to challenges regarding energy efficiency and renewable energy in Mediterranean buildings’.
At the project’s completion, a Joint Action Plan will be produced. It will have a wider Mediterranean scope on Energy renovation in buildings (ERB) and will look at the potential for future interventions at transnational and regional/local level taking into account governance aspects, shared information systems, training and awareness raising as well as innovative financing schemes.
