In the period of 5-7 November 2024, a GA meeting of the LIFE-BECKON project consortium was held in Copenhagen, Denmark. The partners discussed the progress of the project and the upcoming tasks under work packages for the next 6 months.
The representatives of the three pilots from Sofia, Avila and Copenhagen shared interesting facts. The hosts presented an Energy Community, which is under construction and includes social housing on the outskirts of the city. The building renovation includes not only a major refurbishment of the buildings, but also a construction of new, sloping roofs, with modern ventilation systems for recovery that is being installed in the under-roof space, devices for controlling the heat supply to the building, as well as smart devices for controlling the energy coming from the PV panels on the roof.
Ms. Galeva presented the model of an energy community, which is being implemented on the territory of the Sofia Municipality, with the support of the Vitosha Municipality. It will be the first energy community in the capital, with the goal of becoming a model for replication among other district municipalities.
