Regenerative Local Actions for Urban Challenges to Wellness and Innovation
The Municipality of Burgas aims to create an aesthetic, functional and sustainable urban environment which inspires creativity, collaboration, and life-long learning. RELAUNCHTOWIN is renovating a sports hall with energy efficiency measures and transforming the surrounding areas with nature-based solutions to combat climate change. Actions include creating a community centre for social collaboration to support the inclusion of minority groups. RELAUNCHTOWIN will lead to better physical and mental health of local people, giving them a stronger sense of belonging while raising awareness about energy efficiency and climate adaption measures.
About
The RELAUNCHTOWIN project is responding to the challenges of climate change, loss of biodiversity and rising energy costs with a solution that involves renovating Mladost Sports Hall.
The sports hall is being renovated with energy efficiency measures and Renewable Energy Systems (RES) to transform it into a Nearly Zero Energy (NZEB) building combined with Digital Twin sensors to monitor energy efficiency.
Linked to this, the surrounding area will be transformed into a climate-adapted public space, with an array of nature-based solutions and therapeutic gardens.
The new functions to the site will support the creation of a new sports hall focused on energy efficiency, green living and wellness, social collaboration and the sustainability of local culture and traditions.
In this way, RELAUNCHTOWIN is contributing to improving physical and mental health in the area, giving local residents a stronger sense of belonging while raising awareness about energy efficiency and climate adaption measures.
