Energiesprong Italy has been working full steam ahead to develop the Italian sector for industrialised retrofits. The number of homes included has now increased to 150,000 dwellings spread across the network of 15 public and private sector partners. The partnership is made up of housing organisations, public authorities, private social housing organisations, residents’ cooperatives and local municipalities, mostly located in Northern Italy with the Municipalities of Milan and Rome both involved.   All the partners will come together in Milan for the first Italian Energiesprong Retrofit Days on 29 & 30 November. This will also be the first time all the Italian demand-side organisations have got together. It’s set to be an event of firsts in Italy as the catalogue of technical solutions will also be presented for the first time at the event. In addition, further information on Energiesprong design and public procurement guidelines for municipalities and housing organisations in Italy will also be disseminated. No doubt it’s going to be a hugely inspiring event!   The next step for the Energiesprong Italy team is to have 5 or maybe even 6 new pilot projects completed next year… so watch this space for exciting future developments in Italy!
