5 RE-GREEN - project overview RE-GREEN topic The 11 key sectors that are in the foundation of the transition to a Green Economy: agriculture, fishing, forests and water, energy efficiency and renewable energy, manufacturing, waste, buildings, tourism and cities. [The Green Economy Report, UNEP, 2011] The renovation rate of buildings is too low. In developed countries, opportunities for greening the building sector are mainly in retrofitting existing buildings, which are becoming a critical area of intervention to reduce energy demands and the GHG emissions. [The Green Economy Report, UNEP, 2011] There is a crucial opportunity in the emerging Green Economy where the environment, the economy and the social features can no longer be considered in isolation. The Green Growth Strategy (OECD, 2010) stresses that the transition to a green economy will require dedicated policy approaches to foster the development and diffusion of green growth, and will also open new opportunities for jobs and skills development. The building sector is one of the main contributors to the global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The greatest energy saving potential lies in buildings, due to the fact that almost 40% of the final energy consumption takes place in buildings (houses, offices, shops, and other buildings). [Energy Efficiency Plan, EC, 2011] The key role of public policy and public authorities, taking into account that public buildings represent about 12% by area of the EU building stock. The public-owned buildings (schools, hospitals, social housing units, etc.) are ideal to begin implementing greener building policies, including green public procurement. [The Green Economy Report, UNEP, 2011]

6 RE-GREEN - project overview Objectives To contribute for improving regional development policies oriented to the promotion of green regions within the new paradigm of the Green Economy, with a special focus on greening the building sector through the enhancement of energy efficiency and the use of renewable energies. To promote the exchange of experiences oriented to the identification and transfer of good practices, methodologies and processes in the development and implementation of new policy tools of green buildings, aiming at retrofitting existent public sector buildings. To encourage innovative policy solutions for green buildings, namely green public procurement, supporting regions in renovate and retrofit public but also private buildings. Public authorities acting as leading examples in introducing energy efficiency measures in public-owned buildings.
