Green Resource Hub on the ground in the village of Ropotovo: Together for more sustainable and economical homes

byСтаница ПЕТ

Since February 2025, our team has been actively working with the residents of the village of Ropotovo, as part of the initiative to improve energy efficiency and sustainable living. In addition to the advisory sessions at the premises of the Municipality of Dolneni, together with the local population, we conducted individual assessments of the energy efficiency of their homes and business buildings. The assessments were carried out using a specially developed questionnaire, which allowed for a precise analysis of the current situation.

As a result of this fieldwork, we developed and assigned 4 individual energy efficiency plans for households in the community. These plans contain specific recommendations for improving insulation, reducing energy losses and optimal use of renewable sources, in order to reduce costs and improve the quality of life.

👉 “With this plan, we finally know what we can improve and how to save. We got ideas that we never thought could make such a difference to our bills and heat at home.” — says one of the residents of Ropotovo, a participant in the initiative.
The activities will continue in the coming period, with the expansion of assessments and the development of plans for other households in the village. With this, the Green Resource Hub continues to be a partner of communities for a more sustainable, more economical and healthier environment.

The activity is part of the project: “Smart Green Village for a Sustainable Future”, which is implemented with the support of the Open Society Foundations – Western Balkans.
