Project Description
The MOBILISE project, in partnership with Traveller stakeholders and relevant local authorities, will produce a roadmap to energy efficiency improvements for the sector. The roadmap will identify barriers as well as readily deployable solutions to increase the efficiency of mobile homes. The project will further implement a demonstrable process to ensure extensive education and knowledge transfer on relevant energy efficiency approaches to the targeted groups and the wider targeted Irish use cases where mobile dwellings are considered to meet urgent accommodation needs (e.g. use of mobiles for housing displaced individuals and asylum seekers).Project Details
