HOLISTIC           
Holistic Optimisation Leading to Integration of Sustainable Technologies In Communities

The HOLISTIC project is based in selected zones in Dundalk, (Ireland), Mödling (Austria) and Neuchâtel (Switzerland). These zones are representative of a typical urban community, since they contain within their borders every aspect of community life, i.e. housing, schools and colleges, hospital, hotel, retail and leisure facilities and industry.

This project is aimed at showing other towns and cities across Europe how to use different energy technologies and techniques in an intelligent and integrated way.

In Dundalk, the main focus will be on the technologies and behavioural changes that deliver the most efficient use of energy. The project will also involve research programmes such as the innovative use of renewable technologies, as well as research on the development of sustainable transport initiatives.
