With 44 residents, the home faces high monthly energy expenses. The installation of this new equipment will allow for a significant reduction in the institution's consumption and operating costs, also contributing to positive environmental impact and the use of renewable energies.
“"We know that costs in this area are very high and that this type of equipment, in addition to the environmental impact and the importance of using renewable energies in the context of climate change, will allow for considerable savings."
The president of the board of the Quinta do Rezende Association, Manuel Garrido, highlighted that the municipal support makes possible a project with the potential for annual savings of thousands of euros on the energy bill.
Additionally, renovation and improvement works have been completed at the home, enhancing the comfort and safety conditions for residents and staff of the Residential Structure for the Elderly (ERPI). This intervention also received additional municipal support of 138,000 euros.
