SMART SPP
SMART SPP is a three-year project supported by Intelligent Energy Europe which is pursuing the development, testing and revision of highly energy-efficient environmental technologies, and bringing them onto the market. The approach is to manage risk at the pre-procurement phase, to develop a life cycle costing tool, and a tool to help local authorities to assess the degree of carbon dioxide savings which can be achieved through using these technologies.
Start date:October 2008
SMART SPP focuses on implementation, and includes five public authorities in the United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal as well as environmental organisations including Global to Local Ltd. Other local authorities are welcome to join as non-recipient partners if they wish to benefit from working closely with the project.
