The foundry and basic metals sector generate products that are very important in the production chains of numerous industrial subsectors. One of the objectives of Escan energy consultants is to support collaboration between this sector and European suppliers of innovative low-energy technologies.

Other collaborative initiatives already exist, for example, between some industrial sectors (paper, chemical, etc.) and suppliers of state-of-the-art heat pumps, with positive results in all industrial companies.

Another objective is to give continuity to the technical-financial assistance aimed at public entities in their sustainable energy concepts. Our background, developed in previous European programmes, will facilitate the growth of new local projects with public-private funding.

Another of the new objectives is to analyse solutions to mitigate barriers in the rehabilitation of residential buildings. Existing data will be harmonised by considering not only energy certificates, but also renovation passports and other digitised data based on the local context of pilot buildings.

The analysis of the models obtained with this initiative and their corresponding validation will help to increase the number of renovations in residential buildings.
