Regionale Abschlussveranstaltung „Sachsen trifft Europa: Innovative Ergebnisse für mehr Energieeffizienz in Kommunen und bei den Bürgern
Das europäische Energieeffizienzprojekt EnercitEE zieht Bilanz nach mehr als dreijähriger erfolgreicher Arbeit. Bei einer regionalen Abschlussveranstaltung am 13.06.2013 in Dresden Hellerau wurden viele innovative Lösungen und Instrumente aus den 10 Teilprojekten präsentiert.
Themenschwerpunkte waren dabei energieeffiziente Gebäude, Bewusstseinsbildung und Sensibilisierung, Finanzierungsmodelle und –programme sowie konzeptionelle und planerische Maßnahmen für die Kommunalverwaltung. Viele dieser Ergebnisse sind übertragbar und stehen nun Kommunen, Bürgern und anderen interessierten Akteuren zur Weiternutzung zur Verfügung.
Policy maker exchange – mayors from the EnercitEE partner regions will travel to Växjö, Sweden
From 30 May to 01 June 2012 the city of Växjö in Smaland, Sweden welcomes interested mayors from the different EnercitEE partner regions to provide an inside into its climate protection and energy policy and its vision to become a fossil fuel free city until 2030. The city of Växjö has been called “the greenest city of Europe” by many journalists, a recognition for its visionary sustainability strategy.
During the 2 day meeting the mayors will learn why and how Växjö’s vision could have been and will be implemented that successfully. Furthermore they will be presented exemplary energy efficiency measures and solutions in the fields of transport, heat/cooling generation and – distribution, public participation and future strategies that have already been carried out by the city, such as:
Cycle lanes/ boxes
Most CO2 emissions arise in the transport sector. That is why the city fosters the use of bicycles. A map illustrates the 150 km of cycle paths.
Free parking – for biogas, REM, DME, electrical and hybrid cars
This is an incentive to encourage people to use environmentally friendlier cars.
Bus station – biogas bus
The buses in Växjö are run with biogas produced in the sewage treatment plant in Växjö.
16 Saxon mayors will learn from Växjö – the city with the visionary climate protection and energy policy
Within the framework of EnercitEE a study trip to Växjö, Sweden will be organised from 30 May to 01 June 2012. The city of Växjö represents a shining example for climate protection with focus on energy efficiency and use of regional biomass.
From 01 December 2011 to 25 January 2012 mayors throughout Saxony were welcome to apply for taking part in the study trip. Therefore mayors of the Saxon municipalities needed to describe implemented or planned measures regarding future energy supply in the municipality as well as his/her expectations on and motivation for participating in the study trip. Out of the 27 received applications the jury consisting of representatives of the Saxon State Office for the Environment, Agriculture and Geology, the Saxon State Ministry of the Environment and Agriculture and Saxon Energy Agency (SAENA GmbH), selected 16 mayors that will go to Växjö.
Energy efficient Saxony: Ten new initiatives for climate protection
Under this slogan an EnercitEE conference took place on 27 February 2012 in Dresden.

Heizen mit Abwasser
Sammlung guter Praxisbeispiele zur Energieeffizienz jetzt als kostenfreie Broschüre erhältlich
Ein im Abwasserkanal installierter Wärmetauscher liefert zusammen mit einer Wärmepumpe die Heizenergie für über 1500 Quadratmeter Gebäudefläche. Selbst bei Wintertemperaturen von minus 16 Grad Celsius ist das System in der Lage, eine zuverlässige Wärmeversorgung sicherzustellen und ersetzt fast vollständig den mit Heizöl betriebenen klimaschädlichen Dampfkessel.
