Plan4COLD aims to support South European municipalities to cope with article 25º of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) transposition, dealing with the obligation for municipalities with more than 45.000 inhabitants to prepare local heating and cooling plans. 

Heating and cooling are responsible for a central part of the European Union’s (EU) energy demand, representing roughly half of the final energy consumption. Despite the biggest share being attributed to heating, cooling demand is increasing and is expected to increase in the next decades. Although cooling is still not a concern for North and Central European countries, and the reason very few EU projects cover the cooling topic, this is already a central issue in South European municipalities with expressive and rising cooling needs.
