How can we help your pilot project?

According to the latest data from the Energy Poverty Observatory, nearly 50 million people in the European Union are affected by energy poverty. It is an important political and social problem, as living in inadequately heated or cooled homes has proven to have a detrimental effect on the respiratory, circulatory and cardiovascular systems, as well as on the mental health and well-being of people.

SMARTER supports pilot projects providing housing to low income families. Are you a municipality subsidizing reconstruction of private dwellings? Are you an NGO supporting social housing for underprivileged?

According to your needs, SMARTER can

• provide you with technical and financial guidance
• help you to increase the quality of your construction plans
• provide accessible green certification
• connect you with banks providing green loans
• get your project international visibility

Pilot projects must be:

• residential buildings
• new constructions or reconstructions
• in the stage of planning or implementation
• public or private property
• aimed to help low income families
• promote combination of public and private funding
