In the pilot phase of the Super ESCO Program, the following activities have been carried out:
- Three public buildings were selected (one administrative building and two kindergartens) where ESCO projects (energy efficiency measures) will be implemented.
- Energy audits were carried out for the selected public buildings.
- Technical specifications for energy efficiency measures to be implemented in the selected buildings were developed.
- Drafts of collaboration agreements between the MESA Project and the owners of the selected public buildings were developed, establishing the general conditions for implementing ESCO projects in these buildings. The collaboration agreements are in the negotiation phase with the building owners.
- Promotional activities for the Super ESCO concept were carried out (workshops, technical meetings, etc.).
