The City of Murcia, in the framework of its Strategy to Combat Climate Change Local and continuing interest in promoting energy efficiency and supporting renewable energy, has created a record of solar thermal systems.
This register will consider new and existing infrastructures in buildings and public or private facilities to keep track of the Municipal Solar Uptake.
For this purpose, has prepared a model in which the promoters of buildings to include in their buildings solar thermal systems for hot water (DHW) will have to provide data on the solar system and in particular the energy saved for obtaining the certificate of occupancy.
The record of solar is incorporated in pursuance of Article 11 of the Municipal Solar Uptake.
This article states that the City of Murcia will create a register of installations covered by the ordinance, noting the environmental benefits achieved, for the purpose of statistical tracking the effects of implementing it.
Municipal Ordinance Solar Uptake has been developed in the European project PROSTO in which the City has participated since January 2008.
This project is funded by the European Union and is part of the European Programme "Intelligent Energy for Europe" of the European Commission.
ALEM, the Local Agency for Energy and Climate Change Murcia City as assistant manager in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency, has worked actively since the beginning of the project in its management.
In PROSTO project, developed in the 2008-2010 period, also participate in Murcia, cities of Giurgiu (Romania), Lisbon (Portugal), Stuttgart (Germany) and the region of Lazio (Italy), and various technical partners who contribute to the project co-ordination and technical support to the institutional partners.
The total project budget of 1,155,959 euros, 50% financed by the European Union.
The purpose of the project is the preparation and adoption of solar thermal municipal ordinances in cities and regions involved in the project.
Murcia's situation is unique, since it was the first partner to adopt the ordinance, in late 2008, so the town becomes one of the more advanced partners in the project, providing expertise and support others.
Actions in support of the ordinance was organized in 2009 a training course for local technicians to optimize the design of such facilities in municipal buildings.
Another action being prepared by the City of Murcia is reviewing the performance of existing solar installations.
To this end, the City of Murcia will ALEM technical assistance, the Local Agency for Energy and Climate Change Murcia.
This series of actions falls within the Local Strategy against Climate Change and the intention to integrate activities related to renewable energy with energy efficiency and energy planning.
Remember that the city of Murcia is one of the European cities that have signed the Covenant of Mayors, which has pledged to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the municipality of Murcia by 20% by 2020, contributing and the overall goal set by the European Union 20-20-20.
