ACE Retrofit project
This website has been funded by the Interreg NWE ACE-Retrofitting (Accelerating Condominium Energy Retrofitting) project. The project aims to tackle energy inefficiency in multi-occupancy buildings. Targeting multi-occupancy buildings ensures that the greatest number of private owners can benefit from significant financial savings by reducing carbon by 50 to 70 percent.
