The ELENA supported an investment programme for the energy renovation of the Social Housing Units in the neighborhood of Avedore North and South, Denmark. This comprised the adaptation of the building to the low temperature DH system (radiators replacement) and several energy efficiency measures.
Information sessions with the tenants were carried out, which helped communications between them and the architects during the deep renovation works.
