The project also aims to contribute to the priority objective of the European Commission to "make public health systems more cost-effective, equitable and sustainable". The new and rehabilitated buildings are compliant with the local standard regarding the Energy Performance of buildings and therefore, are aligned with the Paris Agreement.
