The ENERPAT initiative preserves heritage, improves the comfort and health of inhabitants and introduces buildings into the circular economy loop.

The ENERPAT, Energy Eficiency in Heritage, has implemented co-creation methods based on the living-lab concept, a real test-bed and experimentation environment where the actors involved can co-create innovations.

The involvement of the actors in the value chain, public actors, the construction sector, inhabitants and research-innovation actors is key to finding solutions that are transferable to all urban scales in South East Europe.

ENERPAT will carry out its research through eco-renovations of pilot buildings in three cities in the area: a metropolis (Porto, Portugal), a medium-sized city (Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain) and a small city (Cahors, France).
