What was GRACE about
The aim of the sub-project GRACE was to analyse costs and real impact of public and private funding schemes focused on energy efficiency for citizens and communities in the participating regions.
Running programmes were evaluated in terms of involved beneficiaries, satisfaction of beneficiaries, saved energy and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. The sub-project partners promoted successful examples of local and private initiatives, e.g. promising projects of communities for their citizens. Results from pilot projects in the partner regions concerning new financial instruments, including revolving funds and tax-related measures, were analysed in detail.
At the end of the project, the partners summarised all findings and formulated suggestions on how to further develop existing programmes or to establish new funding schemes. They used the gained knowledge to improve their regional advisory service, promote innovative financing instruments and support citizens and communities to select the right programme.
