They set up a financial scheme to subsidise the implementation of small-scale energy renovations, such as thermal insulation, as well as working with local actors to provide personalised counselling for energy guidance. The interventions will increase thermal comfort and enhance the energy efficiency of these disabled households and aim to tackle social exclusion.
