Thinking about eco-energy in public buildings as a factor in the prosperity of tomorrow
"This project is part of the plan PAYS SAGES": The ECOGETIQUES project intends to promote the energy efficiency of public buildings by using local eco-materials and it plans the realisation of pilot construction sites. PAYS-ECOGETIQUES anticipated the revision of the European directive on energy performance of buildings (EPB) which took shape in 2018 and in application by the end of 2019 for public buildings. The project aims to think of eco-energy in public buildings as a factor of prosperity of the Franco-Italian sectors concerned. PAYS-ECOGETIQUES intends to build on the best practices already implemented to accelerate the energy transition in communities.

The PITER area comprises a long coastal segment extending over the French and Italian territories, the southern Piedmont hills system, and the last foothills of the Maritime Alps, acting as a junction. The partnership, made up of administrations working at the departmental or regional level, universities and chambers of commerce, wants to establish, on the territory, a form of public-private governance on several levels. The objective is to support competitiveness and sustainable economic development within the territory, through the enhancement of one of its strong points: the landscape, as a synthesis of identity, fruit of nature and men's work. Projects contribute to the strategy, by combining landscape and safeguarding (OS 

1.2 - energy redevelopment of built heritage), management (OS 

2.2 - building resilience and risk prevention policies), development (OS 

3.1 - creation of sustainable tourism products, intended for a responsible public, with high spending capacity) and training (OS 

4.2 - creation of specialists in project-related subjects, able to provide support to the socio-economic operators of the territory). The synergy between the coastal Liguria and PACA systems and the Langhe and Roero hills system makes it possible to jointly develop strategies with the aim of maintaining the tourist positioning of these areas on an international scale.
