Target
The project aims to pave the way for sustainable development of historic structures. This includes the use and optimization of existing best practice solutions for building renovation and regional development. Stakeholders along the entire value chain and decision-makers* will be integrated into a network to ensure sustainability from a social, ecological and cultural perspective.

Project details
Project period: 17.04.2018 - 16.04.2021
Total cost: EUR 1.847.136,89
Funding framework: EUR 1.399.900,58
The publication “Is this building culture – or can it go?” is available for download in English. The German version is to be found here.
ATLAS is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space Program.
Project flow
To achieve the defined objectives, ATLAS will provide tools such as an online decision support tool for green building renovation and a ToolKit for municipalities. Tailored training and dissemination activities such as the cross-border EnerCulTour and transnational workshops will ensure knowledge exchange and implementation of the project results. In addition, the project will lead to an increased number of high quality retrofits, enhancement of the cultural landscape and achievement of low carbon emission targets. Partners with expertise in energy efficiency, historic preservation and regional development will work closely together in ATLAS. The direct involvement of the communities in the consortium is key to the development and implementation of the project results.
Project outcome
Increasing the number of high-quality renovations – taking into account historical and energy aspects
Improved living comfort and environmental footprint of traditional buildings
Capitalizing on best practice environmental renovations and available guidelines and research studies
Communities committed to renovating traditional buildings
Implement sustainable use of historic buildings into regional development strategies
