This report offers an overview of the existing practices in buildings’ renovation along with the availability of local materials, in the Sudoe area, and it is divided into three main sections: a brief introduction and two main blocks of information on building renovation and construction in the Sudoe area.
The second section contains a comparative analysis of building characteristics (including building typologies, thermal regulations and climate zones) in the COLEOPTER territories and a compilation of strategies for water-energy renovation and construction in each territory.
The last section identifies the types and main properties of materials available in the three territories for building renovation and construction work. Finally, the document includes a guide to facilitate the selection of more appropriate materials that maximise the local impact of water-energy efficiency projects.
