cRRescendo - City of Ajaccio |
Ajaccio, the regional
capital of Corsica and part of the cRRescendo project, is facing the challenges
of renewing urban developments dating from the 1960’s, as well as renovating
buildings in the historic centre. |

Energy
Efficiency (EE) in Ajaccio
In Ajaccio the construction of
two High Environmental Quality new buildings, one with 15 apartments and one
public service office building, helps achieve cRRescendo’s global goal of
reducing energy demand and the installation of double-glazing with
thermo-coating in 250 apartments shows clear results.
Research on innovative methods
to integrate solar water systems in the buildings in the centre of Ajaccio ultimately contributes to the cRRescendo’ project global goals. Similarly,
eco-buildings with integrated measures results in savings of up to 4,000
tonnes of CO2 per year in this community.

Energy from Renewable Energy Sources (RES)
In Ajaccio poly-generation
from heating and cooling in office buildings occurs, with specific
innovations encompassing eco-renovation in the old, historic and protected city
centre. The use of the locally patented solar ventilation systems and the
use of the High Environmental Quality scheme for Ajaccio on the isle Corsica, further demonstrate means of achieving the community’s objectives. 2040 m2 of domestic hot water for all apartments are produced from solar
sources leading to a 20% saving on energy consumption. In addition to the
70 solar ventilation systems set up locally. |
