About 47 million EU citizens can’t afford to heat their homes, with high material costs and poor financing options blocking renovations. But the impact of energy efficiency goes beyond just savings. “Public support for housing upgrades is vital to European democracy,” experts warn. “Without it, we risk losing key parts of the social fabric.”

SUPERSHINE is happy to announce its participation in the Network of building renovation projects, aimed at fostering collaboration and leveraging synergies across the construction sector and applied sciences.

A significant step towards green innovation and sustainability is being taken in the Fællesbo Holtbjerg city quarter in Herning, part of SUPERSHINE’s Denmark’s pilot lighthouse district.

Greece has recorded a “monumental growth” in solar power generation and cooperatives are on a promising path to decentralisation and energy democracy. Yet multiple obstacles still prevent many countries from unleashing their potential. And with the commitment of governments called into question by the outcome of the European elections, citizen-led initiatives could take centre stage

The Ater Trieste area in Via Boito is set for a comprehensive requalification with SUPERSHINE, marking one of the most significant interventions in subsidized housing in Trieste in recent years.

SUPERSHINE lighthouse districts represent a bold step towards sustainable urban living. By integrating innovative technologies and involving communities in the decision-making process, the projects aims to create not just buildings, but thriving and resilient neighborhoods for the future.

These surveys aim to gather diverse perspectives, from building stakeholders to local residents, to shape the future of crucial buildings and districts. Available in multiple languages, these surveys invite global participation.
