A one-day workshop on Environmental
and Social Housing was organised on February 25, 2008, in Budapest by
the Environmentally and Socially Aware Project and Business Development
Company, DVD Ltd., in cooperation with the REEEP Regional Secretariat
for CEE and Turkey, It was hosted by the Department of Environmental Sciences
& Policy of the Central European University.
A new financial mechanism for EE projects in apartment
blocks, which was developed by DVD Ltd., was introduced during the workshop.
The new mechanism aims to make it possible for low-income tenants to enter
the market, and, besides insulation and heating system renewal, it aims
to provide them with social support for the whole project period.
The morning session focused on local interest groups
such as the Hungarian Housing Association, while the afternoon session
targeted the international audience, which included participants from
the Council of Europe Development Bank, the Bulgarian EE Fund, the Bulgarian
Housing Association, international energy efficiency companies, as well
as participants from the Hungarian state-owned district heating company
(FOTÁV Zrt.).
During the conference, participants had an opportunity
to discuss the new mechanism and to seek possibilities for international
expansion, in which REEEP is willing to take part. In addition to the
speakers’ presentations, representatives of the Hungarian Ministry
of Environment and Water, housing associations and financial institutions
had an opportunity to share their opinions, concerns and suggestions.
