To fully understand energy poverty in rural areas, RENOVERTY gathered detailed information about the energy characteristics, energy systems and energy sources of 88 rural dwellings through the conduction of the energy audits across the pilot areas in 7 countries. Most surveyed homes were found to lack proper insulation, have outdated heating systems, and inefficient windows, resulting in higher energy bills and discomfort for occupants.
Go through RENOVERTY’s first policy brief to learn about the audit results as well as direct recommendations on what can European governmental bodies do to mitigate energy poverty in rural areas through renovation of the building stock.
