Handiheat - Improving Energy Efficiency for Rural Areas
Handiheat is a European project focussed on energy efficiency in rural communities who are heavily dependent on fossil fuel imports, and where fuel inequity is prevalent. Northern Ireland Partners include Northern Ireland Housing Executive and the ARC Healthy Living Centre in County Fermanagh as well as partners from Finland, Iceland, Shetland, and the Republic of Ireland
The project aims to address policy and establish a set of resources and toolkits, which can be implemented to help provide sustainable energy solutions for these communities.
Handiheat is funded by Priority Axis 3 of the Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme and will focus on energy performance in rural housing and public infrastructure challenges in peripheral and arctic regions.
