COOLTORISE. Reducing summer energy poverty incidence among European households
Eurostat data reveals that 11% of the total population of the European Union is unable to keep their home adequately warm. Caused by low household income, high energy bills, and low dwelling energy efficiency, energy poverty has been associated with the inability of households to meet their heating needs during winter. However, up to the 19% of households declared not being comfortably cool in summer. Nine of the 10 warmest years have occurred since 2005, with the last five years comprising the five hottest. Climate change is increasing both the severity and frequency of extreme hot weather and heat waves, which negatively impacts human health and wellbeing. Thus, cooling needs and overheating risk need to be incorporated into the energy poverty equation.
COOLTORISE
The project COOLTORISE aims to reduce summer energy poverty incidence among European households, improving their indoor thermal habitability conditions and reducing their energy needs during the hot season, in order to decrease their exposure to heat and heat-related health risk, especially among people in a vulnerable situation.
COOLTORISE is the first project funded by the European Commissionto addressing summer energy poverty (Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program). It is a project coordinated by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, in partnership with Asociación ECOSERVEIS, Asociación Bienestar y Desarrollo ABD, AISFOR, Comune di Parma, Sdruzenie Tzentar za Ustoychivost Iikonomichesko Razvitie – MOP,Obshtina Peshtera and Vilabs OE.
