In an interview with Christos Tourkolias from the Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Savings (CRES), the discussion explores the challenges Greece faces with increasing cooling demand, energy poverty, and the effects of climate change. The conversation highlights the need for smarter policies, sustainable solutions, and greater public awareness to move towards a greener future.

The CoolLIFE project emerges as a response to these challenges, developing open-source tools that facilitate the integration of sustainable cooling strategies into planning and design processes, both public and private. It aims to promote the transition to more efficient and environmentally friendly cooling systems across the European Union.
