Renovation of pilot school in Timisoara

The e-SAFE project has renovated a school (Liceul Sportiv Banatul) at Timisoara, as part of a local pilot.
The main reasons for the school to undertake a renovation process were: high energy bills, students´ discomfort (particularly due to humidity and overheating during summer), old water infrastructure, and old heating system. Concerning the heating system, it is connected to district heating which is directly controlled by the city and cannot be adapted by the school based on their needs. All these points lead to a very inefficient building.
