oekobaust_sm.gif
This project is a next step of the Baltic Environmental Forum (BEF) Group to encourage energy saving and environmentally sound construction of buildings in the Baltic States.
The overall project goal is to stimulate the application of ecologically sound construction, insulation and finishing materials in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania through: 1) information gathering and demonstration; 2) training stakeholders; 3) educating consumers and last but not least 4) strengthening local capacities of experts among the BEF network with regard to the previous mentioned topics. 
 
 
Activities of the project
  • Background information research, expert meetings
  • Demonstration of how to build a building with high ecological and energy efficient standards (data modelling, assessment of results)
  • Preparation of a publication for general public
  • Elaboration of a training manual and training of Baltic experts
 
 
Target groups
Professional stakeholders (e.g., architects, engineers, craftsmen); specialists – key experts from educational institutions; other stakeholders (e.g. resellers, professional associations, non-governmental organisations); general public (consumers)
