Quand Display fait la promo du label Cité de l’énergie!

Bâtiments exemplaires de Romandie
Nos municipalités sont toujours plus nombreuses à vouloir modérer leur consommation énergétique; celles qui atteignent un certain niveau d’économie peuvent obtenir le label "Cité de l’énergie". Tel est le cas, par exemple, de la commune de Vernier (GE).
La campagne “Display” rappelle aux usagers comment ils peuvent réduire leur consommation. Il s’agit de pancartes posées dans les immeubles qui indiquent la qualité énergétique de ces derniers, à la manière des étiquettes sur les appareils électroménagers mais assorties de recommandations.

City of Kaunas participates in the European Display Campaign

Kaunas with its nearly 400 thousand inhabitants is one of the most significant Lithunanian cities. It is not only a city of traditions, but also a large centre of business and industry. With its seven universities and numerous schools, it is a very young city. But it is still affected by the problems which are common for many of the former Eastern block countries. The bulildings are old and do not have a good energy performance. Greenhouse gas emissions are still very high and many of the inhabitants do not sufficiently take care of water and energy consumption. Due to the fact there are still too many buildings in Kaunas that are not efficient, one project was aimed at getting the building renovation ’ball rolling’ in the city with a visible renovation project at a local high school, the Kazio Griniaus High School in the heart of the city. The results of the renovation are monitored using the "Display" posters, wich already showed a significant improvement in 2005, compared to 2003.

The renovation of the school building contributes to the implementation of the ’Energy Performance of Building Directive’. Furthermore, the renovation is also part of Kaunas City Municipality’s activities in the European Energy Award and it forms part of the city’s Energy 21 project under the Agenda 21 programme. The Display project is the first step in Lithuania and especially in Kaunas; there are no similar pojects in other Lithuanian cities.

Highland games – Communication and energy efficiency rewarded

The Highland Council showed the rest of Europe that they too are ready to “play the game”.

On Thursday the 23rd of April in Brussels they received the Display® Towards Class A award. The 2009 awards were presented at the Gala dinner of the Energie-Cités and Climate Alliance conference titled “3x20 – Play the Game”. More than 300 delegates from local authorities all over Europe were present to see the winners receive their awards. First prize winners, Highland Council convinced the jury with their intensive internal communication, strong external promotional activities and effective marketing strategy that allowed for the involvement of a wide variety of citizens’ groups. The second and third prizes went to Pamplona (Spain) and Lviv (Ukraine) respectively. This year’s first prize is the ecoDriverTM sustainability information management system that captures sustainability data and presents performance information in a variety of ways, for different audiences. Vincent Berutto, representing the European Commission’s EACI agency, was at hand to congratulate the winners and present them with their prizes and Anna Jaskula as representative of the award jury underlined the excellent quality of all applications received and encouraged the Display team to give the activities of the winning cities a high visibility.

The Display “TCA” Award is open to all municipalities and local authorities throughout Europe and in 2010 will be open to private sector companies. The Award recognises best municipal communication activities and will raise the awareness of building users about energy and water consumption, as well as the CO2 emissions.

The next call for applications will be in late 2009 and the information will be available on www.display-campaign.org.
