In this inspiring episode of our podcast, hosted by Mary Connors, communication expert at IEECP, we dive into the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and architecture. Suze Gehem, founder and managing director of De Groene Grachten (DGG) — a pioneering Dutch initiative focused on transforming historic buildings into energy-efficient, sustainable spaces, is the guest. Suze shares the origins of DGG, the challenges and milestones along the way, and her vision for its future. 

The podcast also explores DGG’s vital role in the EU-funded LIFE HORIS project, which is working to streamline home renovations in Italy, Spain, and Portugal through integrated one-stop-shops, all based on the DGG model.
