Slovenia’s capital unveils ‘country’s largest energy retrofit project’

Slovenia's capital and largest city Ljubljana will soon have 48 buildings retrofitted in what it claims to be 'country's largest energy retrofit project'.

City-owned buildings including sports facilities, schools, kindergartens, libraries and health centres will see energy-saving upgrades.

The local authority says the €14.9 million (£13.4m) project will replace standard lighting with LEDs, modernise the heating and air-conditioning systems, insulate the walls and roofs and switch from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources.

The interventions in the buildings are expected to save 3,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
